Roses are red, violets are blue
Today I am blessed by a love that is true
Which somehow did give me my vision and soul
That gave me an essence to make my life whole
You shared with me nectar of love that was you
You offered me heaven and love made for two
You said; this my darling, I offer for free
I said; oh my darling, how blessed I must be
That roses are red and violets are blue
That blessings did grant me some moments with you

Love this Rick.  A nice fresh twist to the old "roses are red, violets are blue".  This is exactly the kind of poem one likes to find somewhere tucked away from their love!

WOW!!  I wish someone would say those words to me.  That is what a woman wants to hear when she thinks the world has turned away.  That was truly inspiring.  Thank you.
