Reach for the Rose

Whose petals are near

A moment to gather

The love that we wear

The Rose is God's Blessing

For all those on earth

Who needs special caring

Who have so much worth

Such beauty extended

In  fields of our life

The scent of a Rose

With love that ignites

And so this I offer

With most fervent prayer

May Roses surround you

With petals so rare

With dew moistened petals

That fall in your hand

May you know the beauty

Of love that withstands

All of your burdens

We share them this day

Giving you comfort

In grandest display

No flower I give you

Could ever define

The heart made of courage

Your life has designed.
