Crimson Rose
Crimson rose from yesterday
What turned you pale and gray
Where is the scent of sweet perfume
That filled your every day
Your petals have all fallen
In the chilly autumn air
Shiny leaves of forest green
Have left you cold and bare
Was your beauty squandered
In the warmth of summer light
Did you listen to the promises
That faded through the night
Your heart was made for lovely things
You were made to dance and sing
Your time was spent in celebrating
The peace and joy you bring
