I make you now a gesture

With love for you, a token

I give to you a single rose

With whispered words now spoken

I love you, darling, please now know

As this rose then serves to say

I wish to give the entire world

As my love is on display

Please take this to your bosom,

Place it gently, keep it still

For love I give is fragile, darling

But yet, it’s iron willed

On days when you don’t see me

As thoughts then come to mind

The love I have for you, my dear

Is the rose, set to remind
