The rose is my lotus flower
Its scent so divine
Its colors so sublime
Its petals so soft
It’s a symbol of love
The rose is my lotus flower
It also emerges from mud
It also reaches for the heavens
It survives droughts and floods
The lotus of the prairie
The rose is my lotus flower
As its bud opens beautifully
My heart transcends its space
Opening and radiating outwards
In fleeting moments of glory
The rose is my lotus flower
