The Beauty of The Roses
(Thoughts Concerning Knott's)

I contacted my lost love and ask her
to meet me at Knott's Berry farm at
noon on a beautiful summer day.
The date that was set was
exactly one week away.
I felt like it was our fate
to meet on this chosen day.
Rain nor sleet nor hell
could not keep me away.
I waited for her for one hour
with one dozen yellow roses.
She never showed and she
rebroke my heart that day.
A passing woman noticed the
beauty of the roses.
That day I gave those
beautiful roses away.
For me, it will always
stay in my memory as
an unsuccessful day.
For the wrong woman
desired the roses
that day.

dancing with you in the summer rain~

Maybe the roses - even though beautiful - had the wrong color! Next time try the red ones and they will attract the right woman!
Loved it!

Yellow roses now mean joy, gladness, friendship, devotion (historically they meant infidelity and jealousy ...) ... so to be sure ... choose the red ones, which always mean "I love you".
