A crown of roses for her head; <br />A rose-garland for heaven’s queen; <br />A heap of rose-petals for feet, <br />That’s what the Rosary’s about. <br /> <br />The queen of beauteous flowers –Rose, <br />Whose perfume tickles any nose! <br />What hues and sizes grow on earth! <br />Give them to Mary, full of mirth. <br /> <br />St. Dominic was first to get, <br />The rosary when he had met <br />Our Lady of the Rosary, <br />Lord Jesus Christ’s Mother Mary! <br /> <br />The string of beads stands for prayers – <br />A magic blend for all sayers; <br />Just pray with meaning, mind steadfast, <br />To get the mother’s blessings vast! <br /> <br />A lovely weapon against foes; <br />A contemplation ’midst our woes; <br />Reciting it, we earn graces, <br />And win life’s spiritual races. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-30-2009<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-marian-holy-rosary/
