in the language of roses

whatever u say or do,
you leave a scent behind you.
and because you cannot take it back,
you ought to use some tack.

but if truth be told,
your words be warm or cold
go on, be bold
and never hold.

may all the words u speak
come not with a thorn that prick
may all the things you do
not cost a petal to tear in two.
