Chelci Biggs Poet Rhyme

Dozen of Roses

A dozen of roses, are beautiful just like you.
The scent of them reminds me, of your sweet perfume.

A dozen of roses, I gave on special occasions.
Like valentines day, christmas, or your college graduation.

These dozen of roses, bring back my favorite memory. 
The day I proposed, with a ring down on one knee.

Now I lay these roses on your grave. 
That reads your birthday and your full name. 

For the first time, I will turn around to walk away.
 Without seeing you smile, holding these roses thanking me.

I'll return to my car, wiping tears off my face.
Looking back in my mirror, for a familiar face while driving away.

When we are reunited, in Heaven at the gates.
 I'll have 12 red roses for my love, my baby.

Wendy Watson July 28, 2018 at 3:43 PM How beautiful though poignant, Chelci. Normally we say a dozen then straight into the noun eg a dozen eggs rather than a dozen 'of' something. I think this would give your poem an even better flow. Warm wishes Wendy
