I’m smelling roses

While striking a few poses

They represent each day

How I made a way

Where I’m supposed to be

The dreams that motivate me

They fill my soul

They make me whole

They’re part of a journey

Meant for me only

They’re sent by God

I offer Him a wink and nod

And they help me stand

As I hold God’s hand

I’m smelling roses

The scent I can’t ignore

They fill me to the core

They give me a pride

I simply cannot hide

They fill me with the purpose

That lies at the surface

They keep me strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

They make me see

What’s truly meant to be

I can see what I’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

They put me in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They offer a word

That’s the best I’ve heard

Their scent takes me far

Without leaving a scar

The roses represent love

Sent from heaven above

They offer something pure

They make me feel secure

They set things in stone

They prove I’m not alone

So I’ll strike a few poses

While I’m smelling the roses
