I saw a beautiful rose today, red and blossoming
Full of colour, joyous to watch and see and smell
Around it I watched as bright fireflies danced
Closing my eyes, I remembered
Your touch, your smile, your eyes
Your words, your kisses and your presence
It started with a beginning
As we lifted off, off the ground
Towards a future we could only make
Lifting up away from the old and the former
Through the clouds into a new tomorrow
I saw the rose and its colour wash across your face
Its fragrance became your own
Its colour became your soul
Opening my eyes, I knew....
