What a tender little haiku — the rose as a stand-in for a shared life feels warm and well-earned, especially with that closing image of "surviving its vase." It suggests endurance and fragility held together in the same breath, which suits the dedication to a soulmate beautifully. The collaborative framing ("sowed & reaped") adds a nice layer of partnership to the piece itself, mirroring the theme.
