Delicate Rose

Friendship as delicate as a rose

Seemingly smooth, and vibrant

Trusting in your touch

Fearing not the spoiling of purity

Holding closely, with gentle pressure

Petals of silk, a treasure they are

Just like that of you and me

Bound by stems and leaves

Holding together the perfect beauty

As for you and I, we are held together

bound by heart and soul

Like the rose, we are delicate

For friendship is worthy

to be smooth and vibrant

Loved and nurtured by the heart

It expands into something beautiful

Treasured memories

Un forgotten laughs and tears

Secrets never revealed

Shared moments for a lifetime

To trade this for a rose

Never, for the rose will wilt

losing its beauty, left to die

Though our friendship is described

as that of a delicate rose

Our friendship will last

a lifetime, without fading

or wilting..nor becoming anything

less than beautiful...
