THE ROSE WITHOUT A THORN, by                    
First Line: There's only one rose that I may name
Last Line: Is the one of a friendship rare.
Subject(s): Friendship


There's only one rose that I may name
That bears not a single thorn --
It is the rose of a friendship true
That into our heart is born;
Its beauty like petals so fragile,
Tangible, tender and sweet,
When long hours of toil and worry
Show us its value complete --
And on through the years as we struggle,
Our part in this world to share --
The rose that will outlive all others,
Is the one of a friendship rare.
