The Lives Of A Rose

Yellow Rose means Friendship,
For which I have been blessed,
This Friend of mine stands mighty tall,
Taller than all the rest.

The Red Rose whispers Passion and Love,
And my heart has been given this,
From my Best Friend who shines so bright,
Her Love is a precious gift.

White Rose stands for Purity,
From a soul that's white as snow,
The yellow and red combine with this,
Enabling our love to flow.

The Pink Rose is for Happiness,
Sunshine fills my day,
No clouds to dampen my spirit,
My angel has shown me the way.

Blue Rose calls for faithfulness,
And a trust you know is there,
You never fear to lose her love,
'Cause you are the perfect pair.

Dark Crimson means there's mourning,
Perhaps a broken heart,
The tears and sorrow that follow,
Would tear your soul apart.

The Musk is for the Beauty,
Of the love you cherish dear,
Sharing your dreams together,
Facing life without any fear.

When all these roses are placed in the hands,
Of the special person you love,
They'll know they're special in your eyes,
And that you put no other above.
