Roses own their beauty

But I would rather have a seed

Not to plant or give away

But to dream of what it could be

Perhaps a yellow daisy

Whose petals are complete

With perfect size and perfect petals

Like an old friend

A child's eye could greet

Or maybe a purple lily

That floats in the breeze

That could tell a story like a ship

That has sailed many seas

Or maybe just a rose

A simple rose indeed

Beauty, expected beauty

I would plant another seed
