Red Roses Poem by spiritual seeker

Red roses in my garden
With little drops of morning dew glistening,
Under the glow of the cool morning sunlight,
Smelling sweetly in the fresh morning air,
Giving happiness to a lonely traveller’s heart.

Red roses in my garden,
Some budding and some are blooming,
And this beautiful red rose is for my sweetheart,
But she is so far away from home.

My O my red roses, as the days gone by,
You are not here to stay,
Your lovely colour faded away and your sweet fragrance escaped,
But my memory of you will always stay,
As beautiful red roses in my garden,
Smelling sweetly in the fresh morning air.
