December Roses

Soft as a snowflake falls and melts on the earth still warm December roses dare to bloom Winter is calling her seasons firm Like a love that is fragile and shy December roses unseasonably stay soon the winds of winter will arrive and blow your petals away The nights frost is heavy the winds chill the ground the snow begins falling so strong In snowflakes the roses drown Beauty can be fragile with a smile that is wry Nature enforces her seasons December roses freezing goodbye Like a love short but long remember December roses dare to display pretty roses to treasure gifted by warmth of odd December days One rose the month surrender into a poetry book I pressed So I can look and remember December roses of warmth's kiss
