Sweet Red Rose

SWEET RED ROSE 

Sweet red rose wilting
longs to be kissed by the sun
looks fragile and weak

Her crimson color
turning paler by the day
losing its brightness

Under the blue sky
hidden among tall grasses
she patiently waits

For her sun to cast
His glowing warmth upon her
with a hopeful heart

Dreamy,wishful rose
heart burning with flaming love
wants to live again

To see a new spring
A season of happiness
and to bloom once more


A shower of rain
dose of flickering sunbeam 
is all that she needs

From her beloved sun
and live in his memory
as a sweet red rose
