Golden Rose

by Baby Rainbow   Dec 10, 2013


In every bouquet of flowers
comes that very special one
that stands out from the rest.
The one that catches your attention
as if it were made of the richest gold.
Shining bright with beauty,
and its stem standing firm,
strong and filled with wisdom.

Each delicate petal holds a story;
a precious memory to be shared,
which in turn will teach tomorrow's seeds
the secrets of life's lessons.

You are the golden rose in my bouquet,
and my young petals are beginning to bloom
from the wise water you have showered over me.

A golden rose with unique beauty,
precious petals of eternal love,
and a stem that will forever be planted
inside the growing garden of my heart.

(Poem for my Nonna, who is 87, and one of the most precious souls I have ever known. This poem will be written out and laminated for her Christmas, along with a golden rose broach.)

    This really is a lovely write saffie. I didn't see anything wrong with it at all. I loved how you compared this person to a flower and it seems like they are very delicate and beautiful to your eyes. Life is all about getting more and more wise and this person whom you hold highly in your life has taught you so much from their time in life. Loved how you used "golden rose" to make this person stand out from the rest and that again shows me that you hold so much love for the person. The metaphors are very unique here and I believe they work so well because of the connections you use. Like wisdom to life and flower showering you. Though this is a friendship poem the emotions are used well here. This does give a great feeling of love and warmth. Well done

    This whole poem was really lovely and I'm sure your nonna will love and treasure it for ever. I can't think of a more precious gift than words from the heart.

    You are the golden rose in my bouquet,
    and my young petals are beginning to bloom
    from the wise water you have showered over me.

    I just have to highlight this part because it just speaks volumes about how precious a relationship you have with her and how you appreciate her words of wisdom..some your age would just think her a silly old woman but not you and that comes over very clearly right through the entire verse.

    Made me feel all warm and fuzzy...very enjoyable read!
