Rose prettier than all poetry and prose
Prose misdefines beauty of a divine rose
Sweet baby's breath more than the eyes meet
Meet up with a melody heavenly sweet
Heart and soul hover, soar and sail they start
Start invoking God's grace, bless this spotless heart
*
Time stands still while I search for my rhyme
Rhyme I try to speak missing the train of time
Flutter consumes every cell from within they utter
Utter adoring songs into the heart flutter
Birth cause is what we yearn for on this earth
Earth halts when I sight the reason for my birth
