'Your Everchanging Rose' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

A little bloom of pink am I
Awaiting your awakening kiss
To cause my petals to open…

See them unfolding before your eyes
For you have given your flower bud
A new and awakening reason
To bloom for you…

Kisses placed warmly upon
My lips my color turns red
A red rose fresh and un-kissed
By the morning dew
Oh my lover I shall wear
My brightest most beautiful red
Only for you….

Tomorrow I might be yellow
As a sign of my deepening love for you
Yellow because like the sun
Your love is forever nourishing your rose…

As your roses’ petals wilt and fall to the ground
As the years of this life drift away due to old age
There will be life renewed when we both reach that
Golden shore: “where roses shall bloom in Heaven
Forever more”!
