I saw a rose the other day,
That really caught my eye.
It seemed to hide within the leaves,
Pretending to be shy.
But as I took a closer look,
It’s seemed to look at me.
It opened up it’s petals so
It’s meaning I could see.
Each petal, shaped so perfectly,
Embraced with fragrant scent,
And colored with a velvet red,
So I’d know what it meant.
It’s loving message spoke to me,
Then I knew what to do,
So then I took its picture and
With love, I give to you.
You see, I love you, oh so much
And with this rose I say,
I hope you’ll be my Valentine,
Forever, and a day.
