Poems by Richard G. Martin

A Rose For Judy Richard Martin 212


Judy, I send this rose to you, and with all my heart I care
The rose may be lovely, but to you, it can't compare

I could have sent an orchid, but the story would be the same
The orchid's just another flower for your beauty to put to shame

The rose is just an earthly thing, that will soon wither and die
But your beauty will last forever, for beauty's in the beholder's eye

So when you look at the flower, for the next day or two
Maybe you'll think of me, sweetheart, I'll be thinking of you
