the meadow rose is not a rose
though at times it may smell as sweet
standing out against the reeds
and red weed like a jewel
much the way that desert version did
on the grave of that legendary cowboy long ago
Byron once asked when
praising the flower
of his choice
why God made this other version
when all lovers praise the classic rose instead
I like him realize
that there is more to a rose then just a rose,
more than just the red that blooms
God in his wisdom created both
so someone like me
might find joy
as he has when he
created you
