The symbol of love <br />When giving in love a rose speaks for itself <br />The beauty is picturesque <br />The scent it gives lasting for ever <br /> <br />The rose never seen without her thorns <br />Still who can not feel happiness when a rose is seen or given? <br />Even for a brief minute, a second the rose brings a smile <br />Or perhaps a small sigh of delight <br /> <br />If one were to think upon a rose… <br />The thorns… the beauty… <br />The petals that carry the essence… <br />That lingers even after it is withered <br /> <br />If one were compare to our Lord… <br />He held thorns upon his precious head; the head of the rose is above the thorns <br />His love was known for its beauty and compassion, the rose noted for love <br />His words and Spirit lingers for eternity much like the scent of the rose <br /> <br />My Lord created the Rose <br />Perhaps he created it for remembrance of His son <br />Looking upon the rose I see it all so clearly <br />The meaning of love <br />The beauty <br />An essence that shall always be with me<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pondering-upon-the-rose-on-a-sunday-morning/
