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.
