The pale delicate rose that he held in his strong hands No longer is new on the vine holding a slight pink blush. The rose's petal have begun to lose their moisture, wrinkle, droop soon to fall away. This rose so elegant, graceful, drapes the trellis with beauty. It was the strongest in its spring but summer's heat beat it down. Then in the fall of its life new growth appeared. An octopus with many arms grew in all directions. Now winter with its cold, frost, and possible snow are just around the corner.. What will happen to this delicate rose? Will it survive the winter? Will it come back with new growth and be stronger?..The question waits to be answered..

This is quite the interesting question my friend! It would be nice to see what will happen to the rose! I hope the spring will bring a wonderful array of new life, and will show great new roses for the blooming! I hope it does do well, I love roses, and they are quite sensitive to the land and to the seasons! This is a wonderful poem on this, I really enjoyed reading it this afternoon! Fabulous piece, Great Work!!
