All Three to True

14 July 2006


Hope, faith and charity, or all three
those things in life, important to me
Words of joy, words of love
these words to openly live by


Tears in an eye
all lost in ways of faith
For would there be a tomorrow
this way of reaching out to her grace

Apples on a tree, love upon the wind
this hope carried upon a wishing star
Could it, would it, will that ring true
to whisper into her ear, “I love you”

Roses are red, but some are yellow as well
this harbour of amour and places to view
Who said it might never happen
never to be married, or openly
say “love was true”


“And now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
1 Corinthians 13: 13 KJV

There are many occasions when a rose is an appropriate gift, the colour of the rose
being the deciding factor in whether or not the rose is suitable for the occasion.

Red roses symbolize eternal love, respect, and passion. Red roses are considered to be
the perfect way to say “I love You”, White roses are often found at weddings (innocence,
purity) and funerals (reverence). Yellow roses send messages of celebration, joy, hope,
and freedom.

Pink roses are associated with friendship and marriage. Soft, cheerful and happy,
pink roses denote admiration, gentleness and sweetness. A posy of pink roses says
“Thank You”, “You’re So Kind” and “I Love You” in a way that can be considered
either romantic or friendly.
