Petals Of The White Rose
by James Haley
Dreaming by the morning moon
protected in a tight cocoon
so pale in the gloom
Petals of the white rose
Stretching at the sun light smiles
reflecting on its dew drop tiles
a glow that’s seen from miles
The
waking of the white rose
Delicate as the summer breeze
pearly
white of royal genes
a queen within the garden green
the blooming of the white rose
Soft as love you give it when
hearts
should touch a frail friend
before the gift of life might end
The message
of the white rose
As we cry these tender woes
and say goodbye to them we know
they'll fly wherever spirits go
On petals
of a soft white rose.
