Paper Rose
By Joeysguy

Many years ago when I was short of money
Thinking of a gift to give my honey    

Something inexpensive, like a single rose
With the meaning and feeling that it shows

Just a couple of dollars I think that would be okay
As a gift from my heart for that day

In that single rose, that I bought
With my love being the thought
    
I have roses growing outside my house
In the memory and love to my spouse

From some of the thorns that are on the stems
My blood was drawn and looks like little gems

I need a rose that is so very light
It has to be special for a flight

I can now give her this kind of a rose
With all my love that it shows

The rose has to be without a thorn
So the balloon doesn’t burst while airborne  

Higher and higher to my wife it goes
A balloon that carries, a paper rose
