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.
