None But the Rose

    If inspiration you would find,   To capture both your heart and mind,   Consider well the lovely rose,   That pleases both the eye and nose.   So many rhymes have now been penned   About this flower, but I send   Another one to you today,   So bear with me awhile I pray.   In every color God has made,   In formal garden, forest glade,   The rose is steeped in legend's lore   And holds our interest evermore.   A friend of lovers everywhere.   Most brides and bridesmaids have their share.   A war was fought in days of yore,   One hundred years, on Britain's shore   And there the red rose and the white,   Became the emblems of this fight.   Romanticized, immortal too,   No flower but the rose will do,   To help us say the deepest kind   Of words, that captivate and bind.
