Another Petal Falls

Another petal falls, a barren Rose
     As nature reclaims her beauty
Another one to sweet repose
     The universe in fated duty

A Robin sings a farewell verse
     She leaves this world, her passage drawn
With arms to clench and lips to purse
     We say goodbye, now she is gone
