A bouquet of roses so pretty and fair
A reminder of beauty and love that’s still there
Though the petals are fragile, their hue a deep hue
The captivating scent is something we always knew
Perfect for weddings and anniversaries too
To give to a loved one who is very near to you
Softly fragrant in the air, an aroma so divine
An evergreen reminder that you are truly mine
Roses are thought to represent care
As they open their petals so wide and bare
The deeper the hue of the velvet red
A message of beckoning
Roses also symbolize grace and joy
To bring peace and healing, for each girl, each boy
The key to life is to find beauty in all cases
The beauty of the rose never ever fades
