The Gardner's Rose
At times, the Gardner picks a rose
That's weathered wind and sun,
For, looking down, He ponders,
"I'd love to have that one."
And other times, He picks a rose
Appearing in its prime.
Its petals still are soft and pink,
We thought it had more time.
And still, sometimes, the Gardner,
In his loving, tender way,
Gently plucks a buried seed
That's not seen light of day.
And, so, the seed's transplanted
Into the Gardner's care
To grow and blossom beautifully
In the fertile soil there.
