I bring you a ROSE.
A bright and beautiful one.
I place it in your hand.
I won’t begin to run.

I’ll stay by your side
while you are holding that ROSE.
I’ll smell it with you.
What a great ROSE you chose.

Yes, I might as well admit it:
I am incredibly stressed.
I run around and bark a lot
but it’s because I need to get dressed!

I need to look good for when you come fetch me.
You must think I’m as beautiful as the ROSE in your hand.
Then you can reassure me that I have nothing to worry about.
You’ll say forever by my side you’ll stand.

Then my running and barking will calm down
I’ll be quiet and stare at you.
The beautiful human who loves me so.
Oh, I wish my ROSEy dream comes true!
