You are a beautiful rose to me- full grown- open to my touch
Is it any wonder that I love you so much?
The stem of the rose offers it support- helping it to stand
I wonder where I would be if you were not my man.
The roots of the rosebush bring it nourishment each day
You have touched my life- I have grown- I am not the same.
Water is the life of the rose, it brings to the petals great color
You are water to me- you have loved me like no other.
The leaves of the rose embrace its stem each day
Your love embraces me- and like the rose- I blossom just the same.
The thorns of the rose protect the bud from pain
May the thorns in our life always do the same.
The essence of the rose- its beauty, oh so true
You will always be my rose and I will always belong to you.
