Notice, Two Roses Two red roses were wrapped gently in a bouquet From one lover to another, both were to be given away Both stems had slightly changed through their short life Bent this way and that by the weather and the strife In some places, it seemed, to be together they were born while in other intersections, soft flesh was pricked by piercing thorn Yet when the florist was through one beautiful arrangement was the result of two So like the combination of roses with different bends We two could be a beautiful combination, both Lovers and Friends.
