Lovely is the new rose in its infancy,

before its perfumed petals begin to bloom.

Their new green leaves reach to the skies,

the suns bright warm rays nourish them well.

Lovely is the rose that still is in a full bloom,

the morning dew sticking to its many petals.

Its a kiss that only Mother Nature can deliver,

the dew tends to disappear by early afternoon.

****

Lovely is the rose that adorns a thorny bush,

for on this one rosebush is their many siblings.

One sibling is as beautiful as the next one there,

but these roses need no mirror to tell them that.

****

Lovely is the rose given on a girls first prom,

the soft blush of this young woman matches it.

The roses pale pink petals match her silk gown,

but its the sparkle in her eyes that matters most.

Lovely is the roses that sits in a new crystal vase,

they are surrounded by baby’s breath and ferns.

These lovely roses will adorn a dinner table later,

for Lilly is hosting a dinner for her 5th anniversary.

****

Lovely is the rose that is in a bridal bouquet today,

cream colored and white ribbons bind all of them.

The beauty of the bride overshadows the roses,

but on this special occasion the roses don’t mind.

****

Lovely is a single rose given on a 10th anniversary,

a single rose given by you tells her that she is loved.

The other twenty three roses are sitting on the table,

but this one solo rose is the one she loves the most.

****

Lovely is the roses that does as it was supposed to,

each one of them more precious then the next one.

The beauty of the roses in general is still unbeatable,

it matters naught what color you get or how many.
