The
Meaning of a Rose
The first feeling
they had They couldn't
understand Their hearts were
beating faster With their stomachs
in their hands How could they have
known? Exactly what had
taken place Or a love that
continually grew At an increasingly
rapid pace
He started their
world With one white rose And said, "This
represents a friendship, That constantly
grows..." "It will turn
yellow In more ways than
one, It will give you
courage and wisdom To do what must be
done..." "It will turn
pink And show you the path
to take And give you all the
strength In the choices that
you make..." "So take this
rose, And care for it day
& night Open up your heart And let your feelings
take flight." "After they are
airborne, Let it be known and
said The next time you
look at this rose The color will be
red..." "Red symbolizes
many things But most of all it
means love Let our souls
intertwine And be blessed from
above..." She took the rose
from his hand To start their world
anew As the colors changed Their love for each
other grew So always start a
relationship With a flower or a
rose Your fate is where
you take it And how far no one
knows...
