Red Roses

Beautiful red roses
Climbing, climbing a tree
Each year they grow
There's more roses to see

Ancestral red roses
Passed down through time
From my gardening grandma
Into the hands of mine

Very special red roses
From a large array
She planted a rose garden
Along her life's way

Crowning red roses
That sparkle with the dew
Part of her legacy
From a rose gardener's hue

Old-time red roses
Blooming there for me
I wish my grandma
Could be here to see

  10. My grandma had a big beautiful rose bush behind her house. I loved those big bushy rose bushes of times gone by. I enjoyed your poem, I write lots of poems about my family, too. I think it is a nice way to remember them and their ways.
