Red Rose (and other stuff)

A single red rose was left at my door

I don’t know where it came from…or who it was for!

It was wrapped in pink tissue

With a red ribbon gently tied

I saw no note or tag about it

So within myself I sighed

I’ve heard that a red rose will always bring joy

especially if that rose did come from a boy!

That day and night I wondered who had left the rose that way

Only to wake and find another at my door, the very next day.

It’s strange you see, but it’s happened again;

for ten days have passed, now 12 I’ve gathered in.

Yes it’s mysterious, this I know

But actually it’s mystery doesn’t bother me so

For each rose has brought me such joy

Could it be true, that they have actually come from a boy?

(I wrote this little poem when I was in the 8th grade, and no, I didn’t get any roses. LOL  I think I have always been in love with love and the thought of it and every little thing that goes along with it….roses have always been my favorite flower.  I think it may just have been puppy love and wishful thinking on my part when I wrote this silly poem.  OH pitter patter of the heart!) (SIGH)

Since I last posted, I was visited by the “little rascals”, Huhoney and I took them into the desert to see the dinosaur tracks,
