Roses and Carnations

Bouquet of roses espouses love of spouse
Sentiments evoke memory that never dies
Roses and carnations adorn a loving house
Kiss of flowery scents flares romantic eyes

Sentiments evoke memory that never dies
Yellow roses proclaim friendship and joy
Kiss of flowery scents flares romantic eyes
Garden of carnations amorous souls enjoy

Yellow roses proclaim friendship and joy
White roses symbolize a brand new start
Garden of carnations amorous souls enjoy
Pink roses tug emotions of grateful heart

White roses symbolize a brand new start
Red roses shout with expressive greetings
Pink roses tug emotions of grateful heart
Roses and carnations love secret meetings

Red roses shout with expressive greetings
Gardens emanate scents blissfully pleasing 
Roses and carnations love secret meetings
Emissary of love emerges playfully teasing

Gardens emanate scents blissfully pleasing 
Roses and carnations adorn a loving house
Emissary of love emerges playfully teasing
Bouquet of roses espouses love of spouse
