My Rose
There is a rose bush just out of reach
Forbidden are her fruits
Her blooms show all her loving beauty
Strong down to her deepest roots
Do not touch, do not go near
To do so will bring our wrath
Stay away, don’t even look
Please try another path
I stand at length and watch this rose
As it grows day by day
Her special fragrance beckons me
But I keep myself at bay
You see once there was a special rose
With so much love and life to give
This loving rose came to me
But I failed to let her live
Lots of care and more talk
Though love is what she craved
I tried to fix what I had done
Too late, she would not be saved
Wiser now I take a step
Learning what it means to love
However her limbs are barren now
I pray for guidance from above
Am I too late? Missed my chance?
My rose to bloom once more?
Watching again for new born buds
Anxious like never before
