The rose.
I saw you the other day
You stood out....You were different....so striking
An English Rose at the peak of your flower
Then today as I was passing by I noticed you were missing
Plucked for someone’s special day I suppose
Maybe to decorate the grave of a Saint somewhere....or Princess
Who’s souls are journey bound for Heaven.
I loved you fragrant flower....so beautiful....now gone forever
Far away from the thorns
of prying eyes.
