ROSES

ROSES

The color of white is so pure

It seems so bright as a star

Even when the snowflakes fall from the sky

The color of red reminds me of love

It reminds me of the blood of Christ

That he saved our sins

It seems so soft and nice it warms my heart

The color of white is so clean

It reminds me of the angels’ prayers that shine through

The clouds on a summer day

The color of red reminds me of Christmas

A brand new born baby that’s laid in your arms

It seems to be there in all kinds of shapes

Together they come from the love of God

But to me there in my window day and night

For they’re just two roses of mine I look at all the time

That reminds me of the purist of hearts

In the heavens above
