Beauty Awakens

In the Petals of a Rose

By Rick Henry Christopher Published 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

A delicate rose blooms in my garden

Reflecting a notion so courageous

Velvety petals beauty awakens

American Beauty gently calms us

≈≈≈

The sun and the wind caress its petals

Romantically flowing through the cool night

Comfort and beauty in my heart settles

Its vibrant color is a lovely sight

≈≈≈

Intense fragrance rich dark deep pink beauty

Captures my senses with thrill and delight

The wonders of earth fall deep into me

Bringing a glamour an elegant sight

≈≈≈

The rose stands strong among all the others

Fills me with love like that from my mother
