The Rose

Sometimes I wish Life
Was like that
Of The Rose
The Rosrebud blossoms
Her petals bloom
The air is filled
With the scent
Of her sweet perfume
She browns with time
Dies and withers
Falls silently to the ground
Without anyone around
She'll not make a sound
Just her
In her glory
Infinity bound
One might think
Did she suffered any pain?
No one knows
She never complained
When her final day came
She left us in sorrow
Knowing for her
There'll be no tomorrow.

Beautiful and sad tribute to all who give of their beauty so modestly and undemanding, yet are truly majestic...lovely thoughts, William.

Most excellent William. The beautiful rose has a seasonal life span so we are teased with the beauty and aroma for months then she fades. One consalation is she always blooms anew in the next season.

Poor little rosebud
Why did you go
Why did you die
When you loved living so?

I love the softness of your Rose. One grand bet is she will return to please the eye and fill the air with her beautiful perfume.

Peace and Love,
Susan

Did she suffer any pain?
No one knows
She never complained

How true of so many life forms in Nature, William - other than man, of course.
