Sherry Watson Poet I do not know?

The Rose

THE life OF a dried up rose petal
Sometimes It feels shallow and fragile 
The lights went out in this garden the other day
story, of the fallen ROSE 
It use to be very pretty
very flawless 
very popular
very happy 
I ask myself, what happen to these rose
It use to have much color
It was trhe prettiest rose in the garden
WAS it because it didn't get enough light 
WAS It because it didn't get enough water
WAS it because it didn't get enough love
A lifetime of hopes and dreams all gone away
The lights went out from this beautiful rose
In this field of haste, the petals began to fall day after day
I also noticed other roses in the garden
Many LIVES were shatter 
many fell in murderous pain, 
Many are sick today wondering IF they were ever loved
Yes the earth is changing, oh my God as I pray. 
My tender moment,I LONG to utter my prayer, 
As I look at the wasted garden
the death AND the misery 
of the beautiful rose, I BEGIN TO WEEP 


THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU NEGLECT THE ONE YOU LOVE
