THE ROSE (OF UNITY)

The beauty of that rose

the rose that grows

where the dog relieved himself bestows

a certain beauty

upon all that it touches.

It’s time for us

to gather together

to unite around New York City

around Washington DC,

for the beauty of that rose

the rose that grows

where the dog relieved himself bestows

a certain beauty

upon all that it touches.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"THE ROSE (OF UNITY)" was written in response to the recent terrorist atttacks on the United States of America.  This poem talks about how we,as Americans, should do join together in this time of crisis.  I have never been more proud to be an American than I am now, as I see the news reports of how we are coming together to support those who were injured and those who lost loved ones in this travesty.  I pray that we continue to be united in the way that we have recently joined together in a kind of unity this country hasn't seen in my lifetime.--T. W. Smith
