Sweet As A Rose

As I look upon the simple rose,
A delicate scent wafts past my nose,
The scent of heaven, so sweet and pure,
So sweet, in fact, that I can be sure,
With beauty such, so rich and rare,
It must have been grown with great care.
The red, which is, so rich and bright,
Could comfort anyone at night.
The thorns, which are it's only flaw,
Stop pests from chewing it anymore.
The rose is definitely the greatest treasure,
It gives its viewers such great pleasure,
The rose is an amazing flower,
It's colour has amazing power.
The rose is an amazing symbol
For love and beauty, and things so simple.
As I look upon the rose,
The love inside me for it grows.
