11/12 Poem of the Month

                                         You’re my Rose      

When I was a little boy I smelled a rose,

I think it was one that had no scent…

I always heard: “stop and smell the roses”,

However, I had been tricked as a youth.

I saw for years all the beautiful roses,

The yellows, the crimson, the orange and red…

I would love to see them, yet I would not bend down.

I thought: “there is no scent, I tried at five”.

Pass each rose, look and admire, there is no scent,

Then I met you… I know now; there is a scent,

It is a wondrous, passionate, alluring, ever growing scent.

Cherilyn, you’re my rose. They do in fact smell beautiful…
