Lillian Jamison - *A Rose

A woman is like a rose
Her petals soft and fragrant
If she is cared for with loving tenderness
In life and love she shall bloom

A true woman is beauty
For all who see to recognize
How she stands out from the other flowers
With all that she has to offer

A rose needs special care
A place of importance
In that special crystal vase
To be delicately looked upon

Both a woman and a rose
Offer beauty and softness

A rose requires cool water
Freshly cut stems
Just the right amount of light
And its gift of beauty shines

All that a true woman requires
Is love and importance
Admiration and above all consideration
For how a man's actions affect the beauty

The beauty of a woman as a rose
