…Roses and their meanings
The rose tells of the heart within
and speaks what we can’t say–
The {yellow} rose
of friendship says,
“Thinking of you today!”
The sweet {pink} rose
portends romance,
the purr-fect Valentine.
The {orange} rose
hold passions there,
and begs, “Your lips and mine?”
To your one and only love,
confess with a {red} rose.
Take your time and write a note,
Indelibly by hand.
{Deep burgundy}
says, “I will love you ’til
the clock is lost in sand.
The virgin’s rose
is purest {white};
grasp her… if you can.
Fresh {cream} roses
are for thoughtfulness;
my sister’s favorite flower.
A {purple} rose
is never shy—
reserved for passion’s hour.
{Lavender} blooms
are more demure,
enchanting night or day.
If a {black} rose comes to you,
a love has gone away.
