It's that golden time of year again. A year ago a single rose budded in Mike Farnham's yard. It inspired Mike to write a very sensual poem for his wife Adele.
The poem is direct in its language and authentic in its romantic spirit and conveys sincerity in every word.
As you read it you will see that it was worth waiting for.
My October Rose
My Wife is like an October Rose,
sprung up amongst the fallen leaves.
They pale in comparison,
as her beauty graces us with ease.
She's endured many a season to get here,
And she'll be here for many more.
She stands alone in the garden,
Competition, there is none.
One Rose created for one Lover,
And that bee would be me!
She has a gentle spirit,
Soft yellow with white and pink hues,
I've never felt the prick of her thorns
My queen, I love you!
