If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears- Isaac Hayes
“Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly?” ― Emily Brontë, The Complete Poems
“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Many waters cannot quench love nor can floods drown it if a man would give for love all the wealth of his house it would be utterly despised -Songs of Solomon 8: 7
(for ayo)
you are the rose
in the garden.
the fragrant flower of the day.
the rose
in the bouquet.
the rose of love.
you are my rose.
my everlasting rose
you are the rose
the symbol of love,
lovers’ exchange.
you are my rose
yes,
you are a rose
but,
roses do have thorns
roses do grow late
roses demand more time
roses demand more patience and care.
you are my rose
yes, you are my rose
so,
i must be patient
i must care and tend you
rose
i must give you time and
i must wait for you
because
YOU ARE MY ROSE
MY ROSE OF LOVE.
