My Love Is Like a Red Rose

In bloom, my love, a rose so red,
Its petals soft, where dreams are led.
Bright under skies, in sun's embrace,
It thrives in light, with tender grace.

Each thorn it bears, a guard so true,
For love that's pure, and ever new.
In morning's glow, in evening's close,
It stands, my love, this perfect rose.

Through storms, it sways, but does not break,
A symbol strong, for our love's sake.
Its fragrance sweet, a call so clear,
To hearts that hold, this love so dear.

And when the petals gently fall,
Our love remains, through it all.
So like the rose, my love does prove,
In every shade, it's you I love.
