Midas Touch®
The yellow rose that I planted a few years ago
Showed its beauty for the one season that it was allowed to bloom and exhibit its show
The name of the rose was Midas Touch®
The deep yellow petals seems to have some special touch
In 1994 it was a winner from the All American Rose society
I can see why as it was my most favorite variety
Maybe the reason for this to be
The yellow rose has always been a favorite color for any rose for me to see
Midas Touch was the one that really caught me eye
The year I planted it bloomed and bloomed under the bright sun of the Kansas sky
The winter that followed that first planting
Was extremely hard on many of my plantings
The ice and snow that blew upon the Kansas Plains
Advanced its force upon my favorite rose and its life was drained
As the spring approached and things begin to thaw
I was so in hopes that my favorite rose would waken to warmth of the spring call
But some things in life are not to be
My favorite rose lived only one season for me
But all is never lost as I have the memories of the fragrance that was heaven to behold
I’m glad I took the time to enjoy the fragrance of my special rose as we should never assume how the next year will unfold. ©2008
