Analysis of A single rose



A single rose stands Amongst the rest
A single rose destined for love and happiness
A single rose with beauty out of sight
With a long slender stem and petals of angelic white .
A single rose with no fear for the future that holds
A single rose more precious than silver or gold
A single rose that’s lovely through and through
A single rose that reminds me of you .
