Never let a Rose die

Never let a Rose die

With St Valentines approaching many a Rose will be on sale, but before you buy a bunch of them, please just read my little tale

That beautiful a most delicate of plants took so many years to grow, is it right to cut her down, for a few days and just for show

The Rose has fought hard and long, it stretched up to find the Sun, if you look real carefully, you'll see the strength in one

See all her struggles, see how she's tried in vain, to blossom into beauty, just to be cut down for your gain

Just for a few days of sitting pretty, in a vase, until she dies, then tossed into the garbage, where the gift tag also lies

Surely to nature her, give her room to bloom and grow, then you would have her always, now thats the way to go

Do not cut down your Rose, keep her well tended in her bed, give her love and caring, make sure thats she's well fed

She will blossom under guidance, she'll reach to find the Sun, and when it comes to beauty, you know that's she's the one

So when St Valentines comes around, don't by a Rose to die, find one and nurture her, just look for the one and try
