PAPER ROSES

PAPER ROSES

Cut the flowers in the garden
put them in your vase
They'll live awhile in that glass
all trimmed in ribbon lace

As tokens of true love and such
live roses are often sent
to lift the spirits of the girl
as a token they are meant

But soon they wither and sadly die
in the muck left in the vase
no more to soothe her happy eyes
discarded with the lace

But silkened roses made from cloth
will never ever die
They look just like the real ones do
but they don't make girls sigh

They want true love and not a fake
nor a paper token form
for only real live blossoms sent
can heal the heart's forlorn
