At my front door there does grow
Two beautiful rose bushes in a row
Sweet candy is their special smell
Beauty is the story they tell
Thorny may their branches be
Careful, they do not hurt me
When the wind blows a rose in bloom
Petals upon the ground come real soon
I gather the petals and off they fly
Spreading their joy up to the sky
Upon the ground they do rest
Yes, the Rose, a flower I love the best.
Grace
Today, inspired by the rose bushes in bloom in her front yard, Grace, a six year old student, shared the delight of her pink roses with me, providing all that is presented here of her playful encounters with her special roses, and together the poem, "Special Roses" was created. Indeed a delight!
