"My Ruby Red Rose"
Marsha Cleveland 1949 (Texas)
“My Ruby Red Rose”
A beautiful rose is so very rare, Waiting for a moment’s stare, Swaying softly, gently, in the warm summer air.
I often wonder if anyone cares...
The beauty, the fragrance so grand; craving to be ravished By someone who understands.
Moments of splendor brief the hands; Maybe, somehow, life’s given in demand...
Red ruby, graces the senses; Yellow gold, a promise of commitment; Blue star, races to the galaxies; and Black velvet, a night’s last chance.
Which one, might I have perchance?
A rose so delicate, so precious to look upon; in all It’s grandeur and bloom; Soon holds the attention of lovers’ bequest; Piercing the heart with cupid’s thorns; Nestling softly in love’s charm...
My touch must be light; my love must be strong,
Keeping forever my rose enthroned.
What name shall I give thee, my ruby red;
What vows must I leave with a golden thread?
What skies shall I search for the black velvet touch;
What star will I find my blue rose so bold?
All of these are priceless untold!
My love I give to my “Ruby Red Rose!”
You are my “Ruby Red Rose!’
