The Rose

The rose is often used to show
your affectionate love to that
someone special in your life.
The (R) in the word rose represents
The radiance of beauty of the rose.
For no flower can compare.
For you are like the rose my
love and compare to none.
The (O) represents the outstanding
depths of color of each petal of
the rose. It's like the outstanding
depths of color that sparkle in
your beautiful eyes.
The (S) represents the softness
of each petal of the rose.
For your lips are like the
petals of a rose, soft and sweet
to each kiss.
The (E) represents the everlasting
beauty of the rose, for the rose
soon fades and dies.
But the everlasting beauty of it
stays in the eye of your mind forever
for you are like the rose my
love, for your beauty is everlasting
neither fades nor dies in the
eyes of the one that loves you.

On The Wings of Love

My love, our life seems to grow more
involved with endless problems that can't
be solved, but if we are willing to pull
together and do our best, love will take
over and finish the rest, on the wings of love
just let me hold you secure in my loving
arms, just close your eyes and open your
heart, and feel your worries and cares depart,
on the wings of love.
My love, when you are tired, discouraged
and blue, just close your eyes and open
your heart, and feel your worries and cares
depart, on the wings of love.
Love is never no farther away than
the quiet spot where we sit, stand or lay.
Just let me hold you secure in my
loving arms, just open your heart and
you'll find love waiting to meet you
there, on the wings of love.
Just close your eyes and open your heart,
and feel your worries and cares depart,
on the wings of love, on the wings of love
