Roses and Reels 05/01/09

If I am the stem
You are the rose
For I will be your strength
And I will be your protection

If you are the reel
Then I am the rod
You complete my strength
With you by my side
I can handle things in life
That are ten times my size

For we are but two parts
Made to create one whole
To be without you
Is like a rod without a reel
And you without me
Is like a rose without
Its stem or thorns

For a rose without its stem and thorns
Its beauty shall surely die
A rod without a reel
Has not the strength
To face the giants in life

So let us always be whole
For together we are strong
And together we will not fall
And love is what holds us together
