THE ROSE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

Look at you!  You're just amazing.

One of God's most perfect gifts

Growing right outside my windows,

Brightening a dreary day.

 

Petals softly kissing dewdrops

In the early morning mist.

Colors seldom seen except on

Nature's pallet dipped in hues

No artist's canvas duplicates,

Nor photograph to capture all

The subtle textures of your skin,

The soft sweet fragrance waiting there.

 

Pity that my time allows but

Just a brief tormented glance.

Would that I could give you all

The tender care that you deserve.

Yet you survive despite neglect

And flourish in your habitat,

Bringing me a joy unmeasured

Beaming in the morning light.
