WHY DON"T WE?

Roses! they cost so little;
They yield so much
In giving our gardens
A welcoming touch
I sometimes wonder
At myself and you~
Why don't we plant more of them
Than we do?

Roses! they are so lovely
That I rejoice
But the depths of my being
It has no voice;
Enthralled by their beaut,
I but ask of you
Why don't we plan more of them
Than we do?
