Rose
I make you now a gesture
With love for you, a token
I give to you a single rose
With whispered words now spoken
I love you, darling, please now know
As this rose then serves to say
I wish to give the entire world
As my love is on display
Please take this to your bosom,
Place it gently, keep it still
For love I give is fragile darling
But yet, it’s iron willed
On days when you don’t see me
As thoughts then come to mind
The love I have for you my dear
Is the rose, set to remind
