Hearts of the Rose

Shakespeare once wrote: “Of all flowers, 

                               methinks Rose is best.” 

But, still, I think there is a beauty 

                     when rose petals are at rest

The Rose is an elegant, symbolic flower 

Standing tall, exuding so much power

there is a reverence for roses; 

    they take your breath away

Watched by flower lovers in a garden 

                as they slowly sway

The Rose steals the hearts of those 

                           who glances her way

A place never to be lost; 

         the Roses memory always stays

The Rose belongs to the family Rosaceae 

                                    and the genus Rosa 

Aphrodite, a goddess of beauty, 

      gave her the name, so that story goes

When the roses lose their petals

 Sad hearts can become so unsettled

As that Ruby red petal falls to the earth

That’s when it shows the actual value and worth

It breaks down and sends life to the ground

For future generations of Roses to be found

Soon the roses will again bloom and grow

Hearts will be thrilled watching the 

                                        rose runway show
