The Beautiful Roses

by Samantha Watson

 

I love roses.  When I was about

three years old, when I was at my grandmother's

house and staying over, usually, it was just when

the sun came up, I would get dressed, put on my shoes

and go down to the rosebush, and sit down to admire

the roses.  Red, white and yellow, I'd smell the roses

each one either fresh maple syrup or pancakes or honey.

 

Each year when they would bloom, I would run outside

and go look at the rosebush.  They would bloom new

and fresh, gentle as a pillow, you would feel each peddle

and think you were in heaven.  Then my grandmother

would come out and take my hand  and we'd head in

and eat some breakfast.  Blueberry pancakes

with fresh maple syrup that would remind me of the roses.
