    That create a beautiful flower,
    Thorns soft as petals,
    That can bathe your hand in a blood shower.


    It represents love,
    With it's bright, vibrant colors,
    It represents hate,
    With it's dark, dull colors.


    You give them to your loved one,
    To show them that you care,
    They represent the beauty of the world,
    And the hate we know it must share.


    You must always be wary,
    For even while as seems well,
    It's when you least expect it,
    That evil breaks through it's shell.


    The world is a mystical place,
    With only one who represents it,
    The true meaning of the rose,
    Is the whole world wrapped up in it.
