Spanish Rose (Original)

Description

Spanish Rose (Behind the song)

A lovely companion can be like a beautiful Rose that stands out among many roses. Even her constructive criticisms, though at first like thorns, are a pleasant thing because they put things realistically in focus. The winds of negativity may blow but the couple remains unchanged in their relationship. It is a relationship based on love and is as Song of Solomon 8:6  defines it with these words, “For love is as strong as death is, And exclusive devotion is as unyielding as the Grave. Its flames are a blazing fire, the flame of Jah.”  This kind of bond experienced and weathered successfully by various storms is the inspiration the song.
