CHRISTINA’S GARDEN

In Christina’s flower gardens
Growing way in the back
Are beautiful roses of black
These black roses are there
Because she can see more clearly
All the other roses more dearly
Treating the black roses with care
For she knows the reason
That they are there every season
If we have not pity or sorrow
We cannot actually see
The beautiful roses of tomorrow
And by giving the black roses room
She causes all the others to bloom
