This White Rose for Love

A rose, a sweet scented white rose
the essence of a true romance
given as a symbol of love
sending your heart into a trance

Petals wrapped around the center
tightly sealed to protect its heart
as this new relationship grows
strongly held and never to part

Sharp thorns protect this creation
from all those evil invasions
for this beauty can mesmerize
stop you dead on most occasions

As time goes on the flower opens
releasing its entrancing scent
and revealing its sweet center
showing its exquisite extent

Once the rose is fully open
its whole beauty is there for all
a true indicator of love
this white scented rose standing tall


Congratulations to Jo and Mark
on the occasion of their Marriage
