" delicate rose "

Sweet child's smile
on a little delicate rose
Amazing fragrant aroma
floating right to your nose
Magnificent petals of god's grace
making more beautiful the world it adorns
Holding tightly the most cherished love
ignoring blood that drips from small thorns

Simply the most gorgeous of roses
ever to be held or ever behold
Precious from her inception
till the days of wrinkled and old
Elegance only surpassed
by the personality of her own
Warmer than summers
and safer than any home

Always in my heart
this delicate rose will forever stay
No matter if smiles turn to frowns
and words you no longer say
In the simple eyes of a lonely boy
the greatest part of my life you will be
Despite doubts you may think
my heart will know differently

Thank you for the light in my tunnels
and right paths for steps of feet
Giving the lonely boy all his hope
and the needs for keeping upbeat
You're the greatest gift to have
and the best that one can give
Never will I ever forget you
no matter the years that I live
