Love Is Like A Rose

Love Is Like A Rose

Love is like a beautiful rose

It needs time and space to grow

It needs proper nourishment

And a gentle touch.

It starts out as a tiny seed

And grows through time.
You need to treasure

Every bloom that appears.

Each bloom symbolizes

A special event.
Happiness . . . Joy

Laughter . . . and even tears.

These events are what your

Love will become.

And just as the roots

Of the rose grow stronger
So does your love -

Forming a stronger bond
With each passing year.

Love is a stable force.
Love is a need and a blessing.
