The Roses (Free verse) by poetryman
The Roses
Planting the seeds
so easy to do
blossoming flowers
the reflection of you
the roses were young
so innocent and free
needing constant nourishment
for the essence of their beauty
rapidly they grew
strong and erect
an orchestra running wild
with no one to direct
the soil now tainted
chemically infected
the roses die daily
because they were neglected.....
Love a child, especially if it's your own.
It's so easy to fertilize a seed, grooming the
flower takes compassion and dedication.
