"Love doesn't discriminate<br /> Between the sinners and the saints<br /> It takes and it takes and it takes<br /> But we keep loving anyway."<br /> -Lin-Manuel Miranda


Beautiful flower born wild and free

Symbol of burning passion

Symbol of lasting friendship

Symbol of innocence, purity, youth

Beautiful flower grown wild and free

You are a many faced bloom

Red like blood, and love

Yellow like joy and sun

White like new fallen snow

Beautiful flower grown wild and free

Beauty yet danger are thee

Prickly like needles, vicious and sharp

A defence grown to protect beauty

A warning to those who wish to take

That which beauty gave the wild

A symbol of wild and beauty's love

A symbol of their friendships strength

A symbol of their nievity

To the dangers posed to wild and beauty

Beautiful flower grown wild and free

Coveted by those who want beauty for them

Coveted by those who kill the wild

Beautiful flower once wild and free

A symbol of wild and beauty's death

A symbol of their final breath

Protected by thorns born of lost nievity, Rose
