A Poem — Roses
With their deep, rich, floral scent
Red, yellow, pink, purple, white
Buds opening to show
Layer after layer
Of incredible beauty Mary has given me
A rose bouquet
Arranged with care
Beautiful, sacred flowers
Sometimes one at a time
In different colors The rosary also
That crown of roses
Contemplative prayers
Mystical experiences
Deeply spiritual
Fragrance of holiness Intricate, delicate flower
Rich in meaning
Red for the passion
And sacrifice of Jesus
Yellow for my learning
And growth
