This Porcelain Rose
Author: Amy Sculley Barnes

Our love is like this porcelain rose -
Fragile, yet unable to be broken.
This rose, like our love,
Will never die.

The dew kissed petals represent
The tears we've cried.
It often says the words of affection
That sometimes go unspoken.

Please do not leave our love on the shelf,
With me, you do not have to be afraid to be yourself.

As our life together begins,
I want you to hold the porcelain rose close to your heart.
And remember our love is too strong to be torn apart.

The rose is a rose,

And was always a rose.

But now the theory goes

That the apple's a rose,

And the pear is,

and so's

The plum, I suppose.

The dear only knows

What will next prove a rose.

You, of course, are a rose--

But were always a rose.

Nobody Knows This Little Rose

by Emily Dickinson

Nobody knows this little Rose --

It might a pilgrim be

Did I not take it from the ways

And lift it up to thee.

Only a Bee will miss it --

Only a Butterfly,

Hastening from far journey --

On its breast to lie --

Only a Bird will wonder --

Only a Breeze will sigh --

Ah Little Rose --

how easy For such as thee to die!

A Rose Is A Rose

A Rose is a Rose
by Brett Nicholas Moore

A rose is a rose

like a train is a train,

a cat is a cat,

or pleasure is pain.

A rose is a rose

like the truth is a lie

what is wrong is right

there are reasons why

A rose is a rose

like one is a pack

like black is white

and white is black

It's as simple as that.
