Petals pucker forth like lips

Radiance and bliss

Soft caressing fingertips

A lover's tender kiss

Pink for grace, red for love

Of royal purple please beware

White a pure and peaceful dove

Yellow to show you care

A single rose as magical

As Cupid’s feathered dart

Nectar sweet to scent them all

Each bud a work of art

Petals puckered forth as lips

To grace a lover's kiss

Reverent rose beyond eclipse

For joy . . .

No cell amiss
