Never accept second hand roses
when first hand roses will do...
For second hand lovers and friends
quite often prove unworthy,
and untrue..
First hand lovers on the other hand
still soft hearted young and new..are
Always willing to bring first hand roses,
and love fresh, enchanting and true...
be you a first hand lover of roses
and truest lover of life ,
(indulge) ....you shall never be disappointed
unless you expect the same lightening to kiss you twice....
