Were There Roses?

  My yard is beautiful and yet   It often fills me with regret   That I was not around to see   The garden Eden used to be.   I've tried to picture it, but find   It places limits on my mind,   For I am sure no one today   Has seen such glory on display.   And were there roses?  Surely yes!   As well as other blooms, I guess,   That scent the air and please the eye   And as the seasons pass on by,   I wonder, were there changes there,   Or was it always warm and fair>      I'll never know the answers to   These questions I am asking you.   There's one thing I don't have to fear,   For I have found no serpents here,   But neither have I found the tree   That promises eternity!
