Once upon a lifetime

In a river of life and love

There is a glowing heart of a rose

Born in a dream of longings and wishes

Some call feelings a tale of sweet secrets

In an ocean of stars

I would find real friendship near the seven moons

In a stream of illusions

Beauty like a rose

Sweeter than wild red wine

Send from heaven to my poor heart

And I thought by myself all my hopes will come true

Someday, somehow with the wind of changes

And I will see the angels

I know real friendship is a great gift from the God of life

Let me swim through the river of love

I will open my heart and eyes form new friends

Take my hand to the shores of dreams

I know friends like a wonderful sweet rose in the garden of lifetimes

Carry me to your heart my little friend

When the birds sing me a song in the morning time

And the sun will shine on me

The heavens have looked down upon me

Sending me friends to share with and love

A joy this heart has never known before

For with a friend, a sweet rose you are free

What you tell and how feel does not matter

Life is short but friendship is forever

A bleeding heart can heal with a friends hand

One touch and you feel sweet wonderful joy

Three roses bloom and never die

For God looks down and smiles



And the love reflects in every rose



Of long missed inner peace



Together we are strong

With our friend, soul mate and poetry fellow



Waves of kindness flood my soul



Roses so red and bright



Beautiful in the morning light



I want to walk forever in my rose garden



Of true friendship



It’s like drinking a glass of good wine



Or reading a wonderful poem



For I saw three roses bloom



Until the end of time.
