Happy Valentine’s Day!

Roses
Roses represent love on so many levels, bridging gaps in age, gender, race, history, and religion.

In modern celebrations, roses are the go-to choice for expressing our love and appreciation. Roses are loved by gardeners for their elegant petals and sweet aromas. And many poets, myself included, have written endless poems about love and roses. Here is one of my first love poems called Ode to Roses. ❤
