Ralph Sergi Poet Couplet

Three Roses My Lovely Children

Three Roses  My Lovely Children

Let me capture while I may
All three roses in array

And try and remember another time
When you were young and we were strong

The roles we felt we had to play
To help you blossom and not sway

From the crueler winds that you might stray
or turn you in a different way

But you prevailed against the cold
To sprout anew as we grow old

You received a  gift from God above
Now you are strong because of love

Once you were small and played in mud
Now each of you has grown a bud
