Roses make lovely bouquets,
To give to someone who's dear.
Roses are lovely flowers,
That bloom most months of the year.

Roses are known for beauty,
Some are known for sweetness too.
When roses are in bouquets,
They highlight words,'' I love you.''

Chocolates go well with roses,
They're nice gifts for St. Val's Day;
Roses touch one's emotions,    
In a real delightful way.

Rosy at times, life is not,                
And hard times come in our day,
It's time to get on our knees,
And with you, dear Lord then pray.

You want us to do your will,
Happy, you want us to be;
You want to give us wisdom,
And the truth to set us free.

Help us to be vigilant,        
When the devil comes our way;
Lord, give us help that we need,      
So we will not  come to stray.

Rosy at times, life is not      
Life's good things, Lord, help us spot.

From snow clouds on St. Val's Say,
Came a real rare sight to see.
Pristine, white, heart shaped snowflakes,
Floated in air graciously.

The sky was a big ballroom.
Millions of flakes could be found.
It was before they did land,
We could see them waltz around.

The snow tufts found on branches,
Had weighed down the trees of pine.
As the sun shone on the drifts,
They sparkled and bright did shine.

Heart shaped flakes that filled the air,
Made their way on people's hair.
