Ah, but she was lovely, she was lovely <br />As roses are, when renewed. <br />This time, instinctively he knew <br />She only needed to be nourished carefully <br />And loved tenderly. <br />Now as we gaze upon her face, <br />Dew kissed again in morning sun, <br />In full bloom is her radiance. <br />She is reborn and placed at the garden gate, <br />Where all who enter hear the music <br />Of her heart and see the smile of a rose, <br />Saved by love because he knew, <br />Ah yes, he knew! <br /> <br />written 2006?<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-scent-of-a-rose/
