Sense Fully*

Smell deeply the petals of the moist budding red rose
In full bloom at peak of scent and readiness to please
Release your controls to all five of your starved senses
Allow your flared nostrils to take in fully her perfume
Letting the scent fill you body and mind with real desire
Bringing to mind true passions unleashed by Aroma
Gaze deeply into the petals spread as in open embrace
Admire the proud grace and beauty in full bloom within
Take in the Aura of perfection and burn deep in your mind
Let your fingers caress the inviting petals in curving bud
Feel the silky smooth sheathes of living beauty surrounding
Touch that which men have desired from the ages of old
Taste the dew that beads upon those desirous petals red
Savoring the pristine qualities of that which sought to obtain
Devour in part that which your tongue has feasted upon
Hear the tightly bound budding petals slowly unfurl to fullness
Delight in the sounds of joy that this rose wrestles from all
Perk up your ears to the inner voice of this blooming Irish Rose
Accept this Beauty that God has placed upon your Life's Path
Whether you chose to pluck it or simply admire it's Beauty
Always respect the efforts of this rare and wild flower growing
Roses were placed in Life to be Admired, Loved and Cherished
