| | Like the rose, I am red clinging to long and slender vines. Those vines structured in strength and guarded by thorns, bristlingin the essence of life. I am born to the summer sun and symbolic of love and friendship. I come in peace and grow in love; my strengths matured in nature and glorified in the river of time that is life. I am that that I am and then more. I am man. I am yellow in friendship, white in peace and red in love. My fragrance is male, my petals are reflections in time, and my core is the joy in Mother Nature. My expressions are many and my roots are deep, Like the rose, I am red clinging to long and slender vines. Those vines structured in strength and guarded by thorns,. I love, live, and grow in the son of the Father, and find my passion in mother's comforts in the moonlight. I am man. |
