This is my photo for "Red" seeing that it is Valentines Day, this is one of the flowers I received in a bouquet today !! Happy Valentines Day to everyone and hope you had a wonderful day !!

Canon Power Shot A30

This Flower, The Rose

You bring to me a sweet scented rose,

Flavoring and enhancing the moment,

Uniquely as a crowning cap.

A personification of love, this flower, the rose,

An ultimate gift, exquisitely wrapped.

For a rose in its' giving, petal on petal,

Serves to cushion life's thorns that pierce and unsettle.

Ah, a treasure indeed, this flower, the rose,

With beauty abounding, as everyone knows

So, I'll possess it and press it as the moment itself,

Keeping it forever present, retaining all that was felt.

And though it lies in repose, I'll always remember

This flower, the rose.

Poem by: Irene Boudreau ---- April 1983
