As I was walking through the park one day, I came upon a bush of roses
I noticed several lovely looking roses on different areas of the bush
And there in the midst of the other roses was the loveliest rose of all
The closer I came toward the rose, the more I realized that this was
A rose with the fullest blossom and the most beautiful fragrance
A rose that had bloomed from a stem of thorns
And had triumphed over every challenge and adversity
I realized that you are like that rose
From a life of thorns, you have blossomed into the most beautiful woman of all
A woman of tenderness, love, softness and compassion
Your soft heart brings joy to others like the soft petals of the rose
Just like the rose, the perfume of your love is intoxicating
If the rose is crushed, the fragrance is even more evident and powerful
Hurts and wounds have crushed you but also caused a most lovely fragrance to come from your life
To describe you is like describing the beauty and loveliness of a rose
There is none more precious and beautiful than you oh rose of love
