The Beauty of the Rose

oil painting on canvas

~

The beauty of the Rose

Is that it never knows

The colours that unfold

In the eye that beholds

~

But grows towards the light

Without the joy of sight

She lives for beauties sake

And gives more than she takes

~

She leaves much more behind

Than Man will ever find

And is forever one

With the stars, rain and sun

~

For the clouds of the sky

Will tell her no lies

The shadows on the fields

Will bring her no ills

~

She never feels the cold

Or needs the skill to hold

More than this moment now

And never wonders how

~

The mighty wind does blow

Or the great rivers flow

But is part of the whole

That is forever so.
