After the blossoms of summer, the rose hips remain to turn red and feed the birds through the winter..

Many rose hips dot the green bush Buds now mostly gone In the shade of the building's eave Long for a quiet dawn In the shadows blown by a breeze Innocent of chill to come The childlike rushing doesn't know Winter will take its sum Spring, summer and fall have now fled If only my hips were like the rose

Very original and unique - I know it's beautiful with deep meaning - I can sense it so if you don't mind I'm going to read it a few more times to make sure I soak all of it in. Well done

Phillip, Read it all you care to read it..We all come to a winter in our lives sometimes it is when we are young but usually it is as we get old..We realize that things change and life will have to be lived in a different way..Sara
