A Single Rose, what does it mean?

A man walks to us and lays a single stemmed flower in our hand and asks, "What does it mean?"

We could say it means to love, but we mean to break apart.
We could say it means to remember, but we try to forget.
We could say it means for peace, but the war still rages on.

A woman walks to us and places a single stemmed flower in our hand and asks, "What does it mean?"

We say it stands for harmony, but we lack.
We say it stands for happiness, but yet we still mourn.
We say it stands for life, but we still take those lives.

A child walks up to us, a single stemmed flower held firmly in one hand. The child then asks us a question; a simple one at that, "What does it mean?"
