The Love of a Rose

A single sole on the shoulder of a giant,
A meaningful role which is all so apparent,
I bring joy to people and even many tears
But my wolf in sheeps clothing can come with fears.

Looking so pretty and showered with bliss,
What follows my arrival is a soul loving kiss,
I will pick you up and represent new light,
For a moment or two there's no fear in sight.

I look beautiful alone and shine so single,
But can mix with my own, a deep loved mingle,
I represent so much and iconic to them all,
For it is i and i only that saves you from fall.

It is by now you should know, for who i am,
A burning red beauty, doing all that i can,
From my stunning smile, to my heartbreaking pose,
To you with love i proudly stand as a rose.

About this poem:
Hi all, i wrote this 2 months ago. I gave it to a family member who entered a comp and she put her name on it. It was 1ST Prize and had coverage but the main reward is that a community of OAP'S had a copy and read it which made it all worth it as its on various walls in old folks homes.......tell me what you think plz!!!! thanks

a single sole on the shoulder of a giant........i wanted to get across how important the rose is to its recipient and coming from the heart of the rose (the actual flower-on the top) is the single soul........basically its the importance of its job to people.......if that makes any sense! ha

Thanks Dan,
Thats how I read it, thought you might have meant something else by the word 'sole' now know just a typo for 'soul'
