Beauty in the rose garden

There's a beautiful, pink flower in my garden.

A beautiful, pink rose that blooms every year.

Its petals are as pink as the color of strawberry ice cream.

As soft as a baby bird's feather.

It smells of sweet perfume,

And the scent of clean clothes.

 

There's a beautiful, pink flower in my garden.

A beautiful, pink rose that blooms every year.

The stem is as green as string beans.

As strong as a piece of metal that will never break.

It stands there straight as can be,

Only moving when strong winds run by.

 

There's a beautiful, pink flower in my garden.

A beautiful, pink rose that blooms every year.

Its leaves are rough and pointy at the ends,

With many designs going every which way.

Its thorns are sharp like the blade of a knife,

Looking threatening as they stick out of the stem.

 

To me,

This beautiful pink rose symbolizes the beginning of Spring.

The beginning of a new day, a new year.
