Budding young at heart shadowed by leaves of hope
WHITE for an infinite beginning, purified and new
RED brings about deepest love, honest and true
Alone so simple, joined together now perfect unity
Petals so softly hinted PEACH, blushing modesty
ORANGE fills the fascination of tainted flames
Enlightened with CORAL shimmers a hidden desire
Impossible dreams reaching from the BLUEST skies
Bleeding into shades of PINK gracefully begins to cry
Becoming PURPLE so fulfilling yet exquisitely unique
YELLOW is that special friendship we all tend to seek
Thorns unevenly spaced out scattered throughout
Even the strongest must be careful not to fall
Silhouetted with a tears of BLACKENED thoughts
Remind us of a life we all once tenderly did share
So next time you hold a rose as simple as it may seem
Remember just how precious the gifts of life may be…
