A Rose For You
by Jack R Roberts → (All Poetry by Jack R Roberts)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

I bought a rose for you today,
And placed it in the snow.
Here at the place they placed you,
Just a few short years ago.

I hope that you will like it,
For it’s just my way to say.
How very much I miss you,
Since the day you went away.

I would have showered you with flowers,
But it wouldn’t have been right.
For it wasn’t me beside you,
When you closed your eyes at night.

I never had the chance to meet you,
In fact you never knew my name.
But from the first time that I saw you,
I have loved you just the same.

Had it been me instead of him,
You would have been here still today.
But we know that didn’t happen,
Fate just didn’t go my way.

I had hoped to see more flowers here,
To go with this rose of mine.
But you know that I will not forget,
Regardless how much time.

Well I guess I should be going,
But it’s so hard to leave you here.
But you know that I’ll be back,
When Christmas rolls around next year.

Jack Roberts – January 4, 2003

Very nicely animated. My vision saw you there and the sadness at a loss of love. You write with an intensity that few have to share.

Very touching write Jack. Done very well considering it is fictional. But could fit in anywhere a loss is encountered. Bill Murray
