If I were a flower in a garden

How long would it take for you to pick me?

Would you take your time to stop and smell the roses

Or just come directly set me free?

Others would be viewed as pretty

Perhaps the best too

Would you give me a try?

I’ll show you that I am perfect for you

My petals might be a little bit torn

I might be too frail

I can hurt like a thorn

Just use your manners then our love won’t fail

I have been through so much

My leaves may be rough

But if you test out my roots

You can see I am tough

I’ll provide you comfort

Allow you to thrive

When the sun shines

I’ll show you how I strive

Roses are red

Sometimes I get blue

But not with you

With us as two

If by the time you choose

The sun has set

I hope you can still see

I’m the one you won’t regret
