One Perfect Rose
In gardens vast, one rose stands out, Its form so pure, there's no doubt. A single bloom of flawless hue, A testament to what is true. Not wrapped in shades of pretense deep, Its beauty simple, yet it keeps A grace that's rare, a sight so fine, In nature's art, a perfect line. No other flower could compare, With petals soft beyond compare. A fragrance mild, yet it draws near, The souls that seek, in silence, cheer. This rose, alone, in splendor lies, A beacon 'neath the open skies. One perfect rose, in morning's light, A symbol pure, of love so right.
