A Single Red Rose: A Single Rose

A single rose on Valentine’s Day,
A gift of love; what can one say?
Awaken my heart and hold it tight.
Enjoy the depths of pure delight.

No words can convey the scent so sweet,
The petals soft, its touch complete.
The memories ever linger near,
A heart, that pines for one, so dear.

A healing balm in a crystal vase,
A reflection and one brief pause.
Yes, life goes on and red roses grow.
Their beauty sets each heart aglow,

Seldom without sharp thorns that too speak
Of sorrow and pain that does peak.
Treasure the rose, that valentine dear,
Know that “Perfect love casts out fear”.

A single red rose conveys the message of love.
