I promised you a rose garden

I promised you a rose garden

A garden colourful
With fragrance
And butterflies

Blooming
between may
And september

The rose
Still most wanted
Most loved flower

Some speak
Of roses in winter
And roses in spring

Symbol
And meanings
Manyfold

The real happiness?

Gathering thorns
And finding a rose

Lynn Anderson 
- I never promised you a rose garden

A song that has become the symbol of feminism, the emancipation of women. The gardens of old have gone, their colours, their fragrance… replaced by greens.

And one wonders if it is all for better…
