Can you help me find poems on roses or about the family?

Can you help me find poems on roses - red, white or even yellow - or poems about family relationships? It's for a school project. Thanks!

"There's one sad truth in life I've found, While journeying east and west

The only folks we really wound, Are those we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest,

And deal full many a thoughtless blow, To those who love us best."

~ Ella Wilcox





ROSES



You love the roses - so do I. I wish

They sky would rain down roses, as they rain

From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?

Then all the valley would be pink and white

And soft to tread on. They would fall as light

As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be

Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!



George Eliot 1819-1880



The Rose

by Athena

I watched her disappear,

as the summer sun began to fade;

not to see again 'til next year.

Could this be what God has made?

The morning wind is welcome;

now the earth is snowy white.

The skies are the heavens;

at least I think they might.

I begin to see my friend again,

the one I had just made.

Every year life greets her

with the springtime's sun and rain.

The streams are clear and blue;

forever they may run.

The mornings bring dew;

the winters bring sleep,

and the cool crisp winds

make her weep.



A White Rose



The red rose whispers of passion,

And the white rose breathes of love;

O, the red rose is a falcon,

And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud

With a flush on its petal tips;

For the love that is purest and sweetest

Has a kiss of desire on the lips.





What A Rose Can Say



A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,

A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,

A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,

A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me,

A rose can say I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way,

A rose can say get well soon, May God bless you today,

A rose can say I wish you happiness, and the best for you each day.

A rose can say farewel when someone goes away,

A rose can say hello, I'm thinking of you today,

There's just so many wonderful things that a rose can say,

A rose can say goodbye when a love one is laid to rest,

No matter what there is to say, a rose can say it best.

I love my family so much.

To be apart of a family like mine

is so divine

where love is shown

hurt is shared

our love for each other is never impaired



we talk

we laugh

we cry



but we are a family

and we do it all together

for as a family

we do it all as one



you hurt one

you hurt all

and as a family unit

we will all stand tall



for we are family

a family full of strength

a family full of love

a family no one can touch

that, s why I love my family so much.



Mahfooz Ali





Family Comes Together





Family comes together

For always and forever

In sickness and in health

In poverty or in wealth

Family comes together

For always and forever

Without any reason

Anytime or any season

Family comes together

For always and forever

In death or in life

In happiness or in strife

Family comes together

For always and forever

In anger or in kindness

Whether all seeing or in blindness

Family comes together

For always and forever

Whether for work or for play

They somehow find a way

For family to come together

Because families are forever



Glaedr the poet



We Are Family





we are family,

although we do not resemble

although i am black and you are white

although you are rich and i am poor



we are family,

even though i am democrat, and you are republican

even though your ancestors are from Iraq, and mine are from Africa

even though you teach the class i'm enrolled in



we are family,

although i'm a poet and you are a singer

although you are old and i am young

although i'm a gentleman and you a lady



we are family,

even though you praise Allah and I praise Jesus Christ

even though i love football and you play soccer

even though you are a Sagittarius and i'm a Cancer



we are family,

although i prefer rhythm and blues and you love blue grass

even though you have a car and i have a bus…to ride

although i have love and you are alone

even though you dress one way, and i dress the other

although my family loves me and yours does not know of you



we are family,

you and i are family,

me and you are family,

no matter what the difference is

family we are, forever

because we are here, and here is earth

and earth is our home

so here, we will live,

we are family.

Warm blood has grown cold, brought forth by the thorne of a rose. Dropped by my Lady who leaves for a distant shore. A scent that still gathers, a fragrance surounding, the hint of the scent of a rose.

Water from the sky, just like from my eyes won't last forever. Through the ebb and flow I just wanted you to know I will always remember. Warm blood has grown cold brought forth by the thorne of a rose.
