Life's Rose

My poem entry {bitem#873406}

"Life's Rose"

I raise to the sky a single new rose
I hope you see the love that it shows
Soon to bloom and burst into beautiful red
Yet, such a brief duration, then it is dead

Your life parallels the life of this rose
Give it love and nourishment and it grows
While it is alive it gives you its all
Unique simplicity, standing up tall

Wanting only to show off its good parts
Living life to capture romantic hearts
The colorful tenderness and visual pleasure
The beauty of life, a perpetual treasure

Durability expired, it wilts and is sad
Gradually losing the beauty it once had
Merged into pressed pages of time passed
A beautiful memory in books from the past
