The purple rose
has all I want to say.
It will tell you that I care,
and that I'll never stray.
If you touch all of its petals,
it leads a path towards my heart.
And, once inside, you know we'll never part.
The purple rose...
Can you smell its scent?
A fragrance showing you that we are meant.
Stand it in the sunlight,
and watch this flower bloom.
And you will be in heaven very soon.
The purple rose
is a signal of true love.
A sign of who one is thinking of.
If your eyes are closed, and you're dreaming
of the perfect love you'd like.
I will whisper eight letters to delight.
The purple rose that I place in your hand
to make you understand
just how much I love you.
The purple rose is more powerful than the red.
So no words need be said.
Because my love will shine through...
this purple rose.
I was planting roses like there was no tomorrow. By the end of the third year I had roses of all colors. How many were there? Over a hundred varieties!
In the next episode of A Bit of Paradise Past, I will bring you around the yard of my first home which sits in a third of an acre lot.
