Love is A Rose 

---

 Love is but a delicate rose
   That adorns the earth with grace.
   Love is an exotic flower, I suppose,
   A child of venus, dressed in chantilly lace;

   Love is  the offspring of desire,
   Bred of pure affection and true passion
   It is the soul's exquisite fire...
   Love shall never quite go out of fashion.

   Love is the sacred blood of matrimony.
   It flows constantly within its' veins,
   Like an everlasting sea.
   Love is enduring to the end, taking great pains
   yet with patience it is forgiving;

   Love is a precious rose
   Which blossoms slowly into one beauteous flower,
   And spreads its fragrance to enchant the nose
   With its' alluring scent and its mystique power.
   Love is born of that maternal seed
   Which transforms instantaneously
   Into a beautiful flower of selfless deeds
   Of kindness and wonder!!!
