What Is a Rose

What is a red rose,
When lovers give it to each other?
When in their hands, it fades and dies,
Eventually so will their love.

What is a yellow rose,
When friends hand it to each other?
To remind us of friends,
The past, the present and the future.

What is a white rose,
Symbolize in a wedding?
To remind that we do have a love,
Even though we may not think of it.

So what is a rose,
In all colors, all occassions?
To remind us of life,
The good and the bad.
