Roses

I give you a rose for passion;
a rose for friendship;
a rose for purity.
Meld them into your life, Precious,
as each will serve you well.

Red.
Passion.
Red is the rose of passion.
Passion for your life, for your love.
Your love of life, may it be overflowing with passion.

A simple walk in the woods.
A delightful day by the shore.
A celebration.
A warm hug.
A cuddly snug.
Each with everlasting passion.

Yellow.
Friendship.
Yellow is the rose of friendship.
Friends throughout your life, for your life.
Your path in life, may it be overflowing with friendships.

A simple walk in the woods.
A delightful day by the shore.
A celebration.
A warm hug.
A cuddly snug.
Each with joyous friendship.

White.
Purity.
White is the rose of purity.
Of all I wish for you, purity reigns supreme.
May all your passions, your friendships, be pure of heart.

A simple walk in the woods.
A delightful day by the shore.
A celebration.
A warm hug.
A cuddly snug.

Each with purity for the ones you love.

     Roses red, yellow and white.
     Lush with promise yet adorned with thistle.
     Passion, friendship and purity.

They all are yours but beware the thorn.

Nothing is perfect, Precious, not even the beautiful rose.
