Founded the 10th of April
1997
Now while the candlelight glows
Quietly let us present you
The thorn, the stem, and the rose.
The thorn is for tears shed together
The stem for growth we all learn
While petal by petal unfolding
Each rose will bloom in its turn.
This petal for friendship extended.
This petal for joys yet unknown.
This petal for dreams in the making.
This petal to keep all alone.
The garden of rose is strengthened
By plants that are tender and new,
There is room in the garden to offer
The place of the rose to you.
