Miniature Red Rose Bush
Produced Roses Each Day for Six Years


Miniature Love
 
Spring - you came to me
a budding miniature rose bush
with a deep red hue that holds
dew drops between her petals
 
 Summer - you came to me
your natural radiant beauty that
showered me with delicate buds
bringing me happiness for days
 
 Autumn - you came to me
to my surprise coming one last time
a single miniature rose bud for me
to entwine with grateful joy
 
 Winter - you came to me
snow to put you to sleep resting safely
until the following Spring and then you
will peek again through the soil -
 
 Bringing me happiness from your
structure of miniature love
 
  - Rhoda Galgiani
