A rose is often an inspiration source <br />for painting, poetry or even prose. <br /> <br />Found all over in myriads of hue, <br />its petals at dawn are dotted with dew. <br /> <br />Layers upon layers of petals, like satin so soft - <br />it truly lifts our depressed spirits aloft. <br /> <br />Red, pink, orange and yellow roses - <br />amidst sharp thorns and serrated green leaves <br />provide instant relief to any soul that grieves. <br /> <br />As the bushes engage in a sprightly dance in the breeze, <br />its fragrance wafts gently across the garden with ease. <br /> <br />It is used to convey to a pal <br />a wish on a birthday, or for a speedy recovery <br />and to greet two souls united in holy matrimony. <br /> <br />Come rain, come shine, <br />a rose will always bloom <br />to rid our hearts and minds <br />of sadness and gloom.<br /><br />Gita Ashok<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-rose-54/
