So True

If I came to your doorstep

would you welcome me in

or would you turn me away

in shame?

Would you take me to your

family in pride of knowing me?

Or say you have never

heard my name?

Would you caress me when we met

with open arms or

would you hide me away in fear

of unknown harms?

If I beckoned for your love

would you open your heart?

If I asked for your tenderness

would you kiss my tears away?

If I came to you willingly

would you give me your love?

If I whispered I love you,

what would you say?

I give my love freely,

for it is mine to give.

My love has no possessor.

My life is mine to live.

A single yellow rose

A single yellow rose
in a crystal vase so clear
represents the love
i hold dear.
Its beauty is very

obvious to me.
For the beauty of this
one flower
is much deeper than
one can see.'

It says the words that
are not always simple
to say.
It signifies the beauty
of your true love
in such a wonderful way.
A love that is as beautiful
as the rose you gave to me.

In that one special moment
when you chose
to say "I love You"
with a single yellow rose.
