Days of Wine and Roses

Sweet were the days of wine and roses. Sweet was the wine and beautiful were the roses. The love that we had could not be compared. It happened one day - I can not remember when. The wine turned bitter, the roses died and the love we had - just vanished in time. The wine can be sweet and the love can be divine. The roses can be beautiful, but if they are not nourished, they can die... written by Lucilla M. Carrillo 06/16/2012

So true and always sad Lucilla; a little effort goes along way as you so cleverly said in your last stanza
