So Sweet

I watched the roses grow

The aroma we all know

Their beauty will enrapture,

And the image we capture.

Hanging on the fence

With so little expense.

They charm those that go by,

And some will even cry.

They are so very neat,

All nestled around your feet.

Life is so much like the rose

As we all begin to grow.

A little bud on the stem

Like the baby named Jim.

Then the pedals spread

Like Jim when he wed.

Then the rose grows old

Like Jim I am told

Bruised and so sweet

Jim could still repeat,

"The fragrance really comes to be

When crushed and bruised by the enemy!"
