Magical Rose

I don`t understand

As there`s no reason why

The perfume of roses

Brings a tear to my eye.



The wonder is there

As it always will be

How this beautiful rose

grows in my garden for me.



I only planted a root

Attached to bare ugly sticks,

Was there a genie inside

That performed magic tricks? .



Did he carry red paint

With a quick dash of white

To perfect my rose

Into such a wonderful sight? .



I`ll pray this Winter

He will keep warm

To return in the Spring

Again to perform.
