Uncle Rosebush Revitalization

the rosebush grew
until the days became new
still change is precious and few
the notice of your precious memory is long overdue

at times i feel guilty
now that i have outlived you
i still feel that you are older than me
for your understanding of the world far outranks mine

the rosebush died
modern forwardness is now satisfied
however this old soul is now very mortified
so a freshly new rosebush by me is now applied
