ROSES (Poem #28)



My roses are blooming, yes I can see
As I look through the window and shout out with glee.

The red ones, the yellow, the pink ones and white;
Oh, my! Do they make such a beautiful sight?

My rose bushes were all presents given with love.
And tendered and cared for with some help from above.

As I pick a small bud with aroma and dew,
I say maybe just one more bloom or maybe two.

 Then I say I can't stand it you see,
I must have a vase full of Roses for me.

 For wherever my roses are, I surely see the love.
And though I picked some, I know from above

 Tomorrow there will be more roses for me and my beau.
Because God is so generous with nature and love I just know.

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
