The Rose
How you prick me so!
Out of spite or love that grows?
No one knows, that’s for sure,
You’re a mystery in your vines
That tangle my almost lies.
I wish you’d know
How much I’d shower you,
With sunshine and water.
Your loving grace and jubilant face
Is my heart’s delight.
There’s nothing in the world I want more
Than to pick you out as my flower.
If you do not want to be picked
Than that is fine by me.
I will still be willing to
Love you without the strings.
