Red Rose
'Twas early morning on Valentine’s day
A lone red rose I found on my table
From a man who swept my sadness away
And softened my heart as he is able
As I go to work daily through the years
This rose kept on display I always see
It remains whole and firm as it appears
A silent witness how love came to be
Like the unwavering buds of the rose
My love for you has stood the test of time
While the red rose may wither as time goes
The mem’ries it hold can last a lifetime
