Rosemary Salcedo Poetry

I SEE YOU AS A FLOWER
A ROSE SO RED AND BRIGHT
WITH MORNING DEW UPON YOUR PEDDLES
FOR ME A PURE DELIGHT

I LOVE TO SMELL YOUR FRAGRANCE
AND I THINK OF YOU EACH DAY
HOW I LONG TO HAVE YOU NEAR ME
AND FOR THIS I ALWAYS PRAY

AND GOD HE KNOWS I LOVE YOU
I NEED YOU BY MY SIDE
TO HOLD AND SQUEEZE AND COMFORT ME
THIS TRUTH I CAN NOT HIDE

TO WHEN YOU SEE ME
KNOW THESE THINGS I FEEL FOR YOU
AND IN TRUTH KNOW MY DISPAIR
I WOULD GIVE THE STARS AND MOON TO YOU
FOR BY THESE WORDS YOU KNOW I CARE
