Purple Orchids for a Rose
I listen to you speak as the treasures of you heart appear,
as it is then that your hearts words find my ol' anxious ear.
As we talk I close my eyes and imagine eveything you say,
whether it is from a tense moment or from memory or play.
Purple Orchids were mentioned as a spectacular vision,
and I wanted to share some with you as if on a mission.
They are beautiful and thought provoking as you had said,
as I realize you see lifes eyes with your heart not your head.
Inside your heart I see a compassionate compelling cry,
as I hear you reach out to others as they can bearly try.
Not concerning yourself with any recompense from them,
you give and give to make their life better than its been.
It is hard sometimes to receive and let people come in,
especially when friends and family have failed you again.
But your heart opens wide and continues to give and give,
as this is the way that you reach out to strangers and live.
There is beauty in love and I can see that picture in you,
because its painted in all of these things I see that you do.
So please never change and always remain the sweet Rose,
as this is the person that the people have loved and know.
Getting to experience you a little each time that we converse,
has helped me see the special person in a big universe.
So be yourself as time matures the person that God created,
and getting to know you has left me let me say quite elated.
