Black Rose
Written by Selvin ‘Ewan’ McRae
In the Garden of Love is where life on earth began
This Garden where all things collaborated as one
So colorful, fruitful and fertile
Complimented by the fresh, nourishing nutrients of the soil
With fragrance filling the air from the freshly blooms
Descending from colorful petals-red, white, pink, yellow and blue
The beauty of it all’ isn’t from any of those
In the midst of it all stand a beautiful Black Rose
Different, beautiful and a one of a kind
So bright and vibrant, visible from miles
Proud, courageous and strong
That’s the way it was in Ethiopia where it all began
Surrounded by all colors of beauty
They stand together in God’s unity
Obtaining many friends and foes
It’s none other than the beautiful Black Rose
Many teaches it is white, others say it’s black
But it all simmers down to one main fact
With a garden with ALL the colors of rose revealed
Black woman! The BLACK ROSE, remaining from the rose color wheel
