THIS ROSE

 

This rose is special

I bought it for me

A symbol. A token.

Of life. Being free

May it bloom

May it burst

It’s crimson and red

May you wake up tomorrow

My rose by your bed

 

This rose is special

It glows red for you

Bursting with promise

Scarlet in hue

To beauty. To youth

To laughter and joy

And, most of all

To finding the truth

 

May this rose

Touch your heart

May it reach

To your soul

May it stir you to great things

May it make your life whole
