The Love Of A Rose Poem by Casey Jarrell

It is a message spread out
on the bed
that says 'I love you' in a card
where it is said.

The soothing fragrance will
make you smile,
and there will be a gift as if it
were from the River Nile.

Open the package,
and you will know
that he is the one that will make
your river flow.

Read the letter,
and you will see
that he reveals his love
on his bending knee.

It is the love of a rose
that you're running to.
Remember this, and your
love will shine through.
