Red roses from the ancient Greeks
Given to the goddess of love Venus
With their beautiful floral aroma
The number one gift women seek.
Their busiest time of the year
Florists love Valentine’s Day
Selling red roses by the dozen
To gift to partners so dear.
Cupid, a cherub of fame, shoots
His red-tipped arrows laced
With passion, kisses, and love
To foster romantic attributes.
The rose’s thorns remind us
All love is not golden sunshine
Or lasts a human’s lifetime
But still seems worth the fuss.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all
May red roses arrive at your door
Or a card in your mail online
Thoughtfulness, never a flaw.
