Image result for fantasy mauve roses

I cannot see a mauve rose without falling tears,
mother-  even after all these long years;
        the sweet scent makes me weep, weep,
I close my eyes and see them all again, draped;
on your casket-  on the ground some have escaped,
   most days, I can bury this memory deep, deep.
