Take Care Of The Rose – David Newman

David Newman

Take care of the rose,
for this rose can bleed,
as my heart is the rose,
and so the rose is me.
Yes, and though I know—even though I know,
we are far from each other,
I’ll just be your good friend,
until we are lovers.
I’ll still be your good friend.
And if you feel lost, the road ahead is unclear,
then, let it be me—please, let it be me,
who dries all your tears—I’ll dry all your tears.
(Chorus)
Because there’s something about love that makes those roses thrive.
A rose without love, may just break down and cry.
There’s something about you and your angel smile.
There’s something about you, that makes it all worthwhile.
So, take care of the rose, for this rose can bleed.
Take care of the rose, and it will touch the sky,
but if this rose should bleed, love may surely die.
Take care of the rose,
for this rose can bleed,
as my heart is the rose,
a rose I give to thee.
And though I can give—you know I can give
you no prestige nor wealth,
it is this I offer,
it’s part of myself,
a real part of myself.
And wherever you go, or whatever you do,
always remember—please remember—
the rose is for you, this rose is for you.
Bio: David is currently working on what will hopefully become a stage musical named ‘Promises’ which has six main characters, both male and female. ‘Take Care Of The Rose’ are the lyrics to one of the female character’s songs.
It’s just so beautiful David. Good luck for the future.
Thank you AA. I also wish you and the rest of our Narrator family good luck for the future. I’m sure that I will be hearing about many of you and your works in the days and years to come.
So gentle and so effective. I loved it. Good luck with the musical too.
Thank you so much Shirley. As I said to AA Anderson, I’m sure that I will hear about many of yours and other Narrator family works in the future. Sad as it is to be closing this one chapter, it now forces us to grow beyond it in our endeavors.
Great work David, best of luck with the musical
Thank you Trevor
