Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Red Roses

     Of all the flowers- it is the rose I love the best,
And the most beautiful to me is the color red;
          In my journals sweet red roses I have pressed,
Cover me with roses red when I am laying dead.

     Oh, let me take my beloved flower up above,
At my bed in a vase are red roses drooping;
          This flower is forever death and is deep love,
So lovely- I truly adore this cut rose grouping.

     In my last gasp let me hold one to my lips,
Remember me dears when you happen upon a rose;
           I will hold this beauty until my hand slips,
Lay a rose on my tomb- but first hold it close.

James Inman August 13, 2016 at 8:10 AM Enjoyed this very much. Roses are one of my favorites, but then when it comes to flowers I have many. I was walking through a garden the other day admiring the beautiful and unique purple Passion Flowers.
