My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose
My love, a rose, so deep in hue, A testament forever true. Its petals soft, its scent so sweet, In every pulse, our hearts do meet. Through seasons change, it stands so bold, In summer's heat or winter's cold. A symbol strong of endless care, A bond so deep, beyond compare. As shadows fall, and days do close, Still, my love, like the rose, grows. In life's garden, amidst all else, It blooms alone, my heart it dwells.
