There is a rose in my garden, whose tender petals bloom<\/h6>\n
The fragrance permeates the air, with a sweet, distinct, perfume<\/h6>\n
She was born from love and sent as a ray of sunshine\u2026<\/h6>\n
Her gentle flower springing up with grace as a cooing dove\u2026<\/h6>\n
Placed in my garden, a rainbow from above\u2026<\/h6>\n
Her life filled with adventure she\u2019s learning as she grows<\/h6>\n
Her beauty far exceeds all others, to look at her you know\u2026<\/h6>\n
Something is abundantly special, about this lovely precious rose,<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s written in the stars, she\u2019s a winner in her eyes it shows\u2026<\/h6>\n
She\u2019s chosen from the garden for an extraordinary task<\/h6>\n
Her life\u2019s journey will be a legacy that lasts\u2026<\/h6>\n
Her stem is strong from inheritance, the thorns protecting the bloom<\/h6>\n
God in his mercy has prepared her, to reach far beyond the moon\u2026<\/h6>\n
For everyone who looks upon this wonder they will see\u2026<\/h6>\n
That God is looking back and them through this majestic, beauty.<\/h6>\n
A scented, loving, caring one\u2026who\u2019s been tended by the gardener himself\u2026<\/h6>\n
This rose is not just grown to be set upon a shelf\u2026<\/h6>\n
Her essence will be carried throughout the world to see\u2026<\/h6>\n
That the rose from my garden is a warrior filled with victory\u2026<\/h6>\n
Heart bold, spirit courageous, Hope is her legacy\u2026<\/h6>\n
Born with a purpose\u2026picked by the hand of God<\/h6>\n
A rose of grace and mercy, her armor faithful and truth\u2026<\/h6>\n
This rose is not just a rose\u2026no other name will do\u2026<\/h6>\n
Esperanza, God is with you!<\/h6>\n
