LOVE IS LIKE A ROSE

          by Emily M. Parris

Love is like a rose
When the feelings flow
And a wondrous joy
Is what you know

All the feelings flow
From heart to heart
Growing like a rose
From a single start

Each day brings blooms
Of a different hue
As you share a love
And the joys renew

It's a growing thing
An ever changing flower
That brings with each day
An ever greater power
