Withering Rose

Withering rose Garden full of life Sunshine coming through the magnolia tree Not to far from it is a beautiful rose Trying to be, As the years past She blossomed to a beauty She had someone to care for thee She blossomed with the three Who Stood by her, Time is gone and it took a tall on her There was no sun coming in the sky Her petals one by one started to fall, The garden was looking the same In one corner where she remains Early that morning As her last petal fell A butterfly flitted by, And gentle voice asked The garden won’t look the same If you let go and die Nobody notice her as she Fades away except one little Passer by A gentle voice asked What happened to your beauty? And promised her To send sunshine To warm and give light With your beauty The garden will change All over again

Wow! I love this! The message in the poem should be engraved in our hearts - it takes one person to notice the beauty that lies within and to help it shine again. Well written Barbara!
