Perfect Red Rose by James O'Brien

I found a rose the other day
That really caught my eye,
And as I looked it captured me,
At first, I knew not why.

Then as I took a closer look
With sunlight shining through;
It seemed as though I saw a smile,
Reminding me of you.

The petals were so soft and full,
Your lips were brought to mind,
And with it’s scent so rich and sweet,
It was a cherished find.

But, better than that perfect rose,
Are times I spend with you,
Because of love and all we share,
My life is perfect too.
