Book Cover & Preview Text
As the roses climb and twist Entwined scented blooms resist Life’s petals fluttering fall, And each new bud renews them all. Naked is the limb that holds The magic of these scented folds; As the blossom shakes and shivers With each bee’s wing draft it quivers. Crimson color, leafy boughs Surround these lovers and their vows; Where each leaf and petal curls New buds grow as old unfurls. Pluck a petal so you sense The mystery of past’s presence: Renewing life’s promised Dream Of what true happiness can mean. This thorny rose surely show How each new stem each season grows; Whose bloom is an open heart That beats together, not apart
