If I had it to do over––poem by Dorothy
If I had it to do over
I think if I had it to do over
I might just be a rose.
That renowned ancient flower
that poets love
to write about,
revered emblem of final mystery,
the one that serves
to send to others
from time to time
to show that they are loved
by what is beautiful.
In the meantime,
I would thrive
among the blossoms
in the carefully tended
gardens of the field,
of the mind,
swaying gently
in the wind,
smelling of God.
