Bette Midler, in her song The Rose, says that the
seeds of happiness lie beneath the surface of life.

"The Rose"
Artist: Bette Midler
Words and Lyrics by: Amanda McBroom

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.

Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.

I say love, it is a flower, and you, it's only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.

It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.

It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.

And the soul, afraid of dying,
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,

And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,

Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows,

Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the Spring becomes
The Rose.

Send this rose to someone you care about, but also see how many
people care about you, in return!

Valentine's Day is coming up soon,
so let's see how many hits we can
get upon this single rose page.  As
you know, a single rose means
"love."  Tell someone today that
you love them!
