holds as much love as a rose given by an admirer. Various flowers

The
Language of Flowers
Flowers may be combined
and arranged so as to express even the nicest shades of
sentiment. If a flower is offered "reversed", its
direct signification is likewise reversed, so that the
flower now means the opposite. "Yes", is implied by
touching the flower given to the lips; "No," by
pinching off a petal and casting it away. "I am", is
expressed by a laurel leaf twined around the bouquet; "I
have", "by an ivy leaf folded together; by a
leaf of Virginia

The Rose
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
song from Bette Midler "The Rose"
