A WOMAN'S WISH, by                    
First Line: I wish I might be like the rose
Last Line: Leaving a fragrant memory . . .
Subject(s): Flowers; Roses


I wish I might be like the rose
Who gathers beauty as she grows;
The rose who, drinking sun and air,
Breathes out her love life without care;

Like the rose who lives her day
Spreading her magic for display
Freely to those who pass her door,
Giving her all -- knowing no more.

I wish I might be like the rose
Who gathers beauty as she grows,
And when she goes, fades quietly,
Leaving a fragrant memory . . .
