Vitor Dias March 11, 2009

So lovely Deb.
Favorite.

God chose among the flowers
so much for the rose represented beauty,
white, red and tarnished
all with incomparable charm.
God gave him her soft perfume
the softness of the petals,
the serenity of the dew,
incurvation to stem
and the strength of thorns.
even having the spines
as their ultimate protection
not ceased to be a sensitive flower
and perennial ...
God made the roses for the chicks
took women to the roses,
all with different beauty
invasive and love,
dance in the wind
called it the woman
and presented with a sheet of life
a morning of Eden,
and taught it to perfection,
she did not gain
but they learned to win
with a simple look of a woman.

Have a nice day
