If a rose could bring to you
Angelic peace enclosed in pretty buds,
Then I'd throw a bouquet to the sky
So, only rose petals swirled everywhere above.

If the fragrance breathed within the tender folds
Could reveal to you my heart,
Then I would tuck inside some kisses
To arrive on my behalf.

If the velvet softness that you caress
Brought you heaven's gentle touch,
Then I would whisper a loving prayer within
Because you mean so much.

If one rose seed could nestle into the warmth
A garden to bountifully unfold and grow,
Then may this bouquet blossom in your soul forever
The beauty of God's love to know.

The heart is a garden
That always has room
For the flowers of kindness
And friendship that blooms

"A single grateful thought raised to heaven
is the most perfect prayer."
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
