The Rose

She sure can walk like a rose Her pedals waving back and forth in natural pose I thought, how beautiful, how radiant she glows It's easy when you're gold In 2 days I've caught her eyes three times watching me And counted 7 more as I, myself, looked to see The softness of God's touch His boldness supreme To create such a creature as she God! She sure walks like a rose! I'm staring; keep my focus on the ground and the road I thought I'd glance but missed the chance - did she notice? Did she know? She's beauty and she's gold In 2 days I've caught her eyes three times watching me Was I looking first? Many steps we'd taken through the last line of trees We found ourselves in rolling valleys tasting the breeze The endless hills, green, so vibrant they sing My heart rejoicing in... Can't you hear her exhale? Her steady breaths, her shoulders rest, such calmness prevails Shall I take the chance, planning words in advance, to project my steady ways?
