A rose.
So much meaning and history—
All tied into a single bloom.
A worthy name—
For someone such as you.
So strong with your sharp thorns—
Willing to fight for harm to cease.
So delicate with your silent beauty.
Yet, you speak volumes,
With your beauty alone.
The colors of your petals,
Gently falling on the lives of all—
Revealing more and more of your hidden soul.
Red
Love always residing within your heart,
With courage and passion never afar.
White
A heavenly purity possessing no limit
And a humility with no equal to all.
Pink
Your never-ending grace is for all to admire
My sympathy lies with those who fail to see it.
Yellow
Always you bring promise of new beginnings—
One of friendship and delight.
Lavender and blue
The enchantment your presence forever brings
Unattainable for all others.
Heed my words—
Never change,
Never wilt.
For what you are already
Is a perfect rose.
