A Rose From Heaven's Garden
A rose just picked from heaven's garden;
a gift that keeps on giving, that's you.
Passions that you invoke within me, ardent.
This i know deep in my heart to be true...
you shall remain my lovely, celestial flower;
thriving on my dear, far longer than spring.
You reduce me to rubble with your power;
your seductiveness, quite a wondrous thing!
O, crimson rose, how colorfully you bloom!
Beauty personified; a sight for my sore eyes.
Glorious! You illuminate faces full of gloom;
swaying to and fro as a gentle zephyr sighs
Smelling so fresh, your sweet fragrance.
As I breathe you in with joy and gladness,
my dancing heart glows with such radiance
Bloom on, bloom forever with your cheerfulness
