Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ Words ❯ A Single Rose ( Chapter 40 )

[ A - All Readers ]

Ironically, this poem started after I used an old WordArt photo of a rose in a wine glass...inspiration comes to me in weird places, so let's just say I was feeling mushy that day...or bored and creative.

A Single Rose

by iloveanimecartoons

Original January 9, 1998

Revision June 6, 2008

To show you my love in simple terms

It wouldn't seem appropriate, as far as I'm concerned

For a woman like you, nothing is too good

I felt the need to show my love whenever I could

Sometimes, I feel I'm not worthy of you love

So the perfect token of affection is what I'm in search of

Beyond basis cliché and commerciality

You heart is what I was hoping to please

Racking my mind until I could imagine no more

I decided to go to the grocery store

I had enough money to buy anything there

A box of chocolates, a card and even a bear

But, being the type of woman you are

(and how “average” all the gifts were)

I started to wonder if they were enough

(and something you might just prefer)

I almost gave up, then, I was the perfect gift

accompanied with a single rose that helped to explain it

A single rose in a wine glass and the card simple stated

how oft we underestimate how much we're appreciated

that love is eternal and abundant, ounce for ounce

Enough to keep the phrase true “It's the thought that counts”

With only one rose and not a bouquet

it said plain and simply how I love you, today

And that love's everlasting—I'm so glad me you chose

And my love will outlive that symbolic rose
