Bella Rose

Every Spring

I wait

Your arrival 

Sitting 

Next to you

Every day

I look for you

From each and every view

I celebrate

The day

You are born

Surrounded by

Arms of leaves

Cradled by stems

Sheltered 

By the prayers

Of wind

Each day

I sit by you and

Sing the Lullaby 

Keeping away

The butterfly

My Summer

Is filled with Joy

Just to see you grow

Is a treat for my eyes

Then you Bloom

Into the queen

Enlightening the garden

My Prized Bella Rose

You are my pride 

A treasure 

I want to hide

Your petals 

So colorful

So bright

I wish I could

Plant you 

In my heart

Where you will stay

For seasons to come

Where no fall will ever come 

And no winter will touch you

You don't know

How  much I love you
