A Symbol of Love

pink and red blossoms

      artistically arranged

                 a symbol of love


sun shines on faces

         turned pink from blustery wind

                     cold hands and warm hearts


on Valentine's Day

         true love and long stemmed roses

                  ... how long will they last?

I really like how you tied the questionku to the symbol of love, the roses. VERY nicely done, Francine. One of my favorites and congrats to you.
