The Rose

The Rose

The rose speaks of love silently,

in a language known only to the heart.

Sometimes it's a rose that can express “I Love You,”

when words alone are not enough to impart.

A bride carrying roses tied with ribbons of white

brings sincere promise of joy to her bridge groom.

With each new born child, it's the fragrance

that fills the air of a hospital room.

It could be a single rose of red that whispers,

“You are the One!”

Or it's years' reminders of the love that were

started days of long ago.

At a graveside roses are placed to kiss gently a love one,

decorating thoughts of unforgotten memories we hold.

Roses bring excitement to mark an achievement

or a Greeting when arriving at a new milestone.

Just maybe our own fresh cut roses we set before our self,

so we do not feel so alone.

A vase of budding roses delivered to cheer up

or, to encourage a very special friend.

When you've hurt feelings you send two dozen yellow roses

to say “I'm sorry, I won't to it again.”

Roses may be for no special reason

and for no particular occasion at all.

They could be the roses you've decorated with

on your bedroom wall.

A rose garden that lines the pathway up to your front door

that is welcoming with the most delicate perfume that bids you to stay.

The heart knows just how important the message is

and exactly what the rose has to say.
