ABOUT THIS POEM:

 The inspiration for this poem came to me from my mother. She has this rose

"garden" in her front yard that "blooms" very few roses. One day I was

 watching her in her "garden" the thought occurred to me to compare the heart

of a woman to a rose. And this poem is the result of that thinking.

     As I gaze at the rose in the early morning sun

     I think of her, my one and only true love

     As the morning sunbeams tenderly caresses the rose

     Reflecting its deep scarlet hue

     My mind is joyfully alive

     With warm glowing thoughts of her

     For is not a rose

     Nature's revealed image of a woman's heart

     With each petal tenderly placed

     And ever so delicately layered

     Nestled so very snugly

     Encircled in a wondrous natural bosom

     And her loving heart, like the glorious rose

     In the splendid morning sun

     Is an imaginative comparison

     To heaven itself

     The rose, her heart

     When both are touched with love

     One is truly blessed
