Valentine Memory

From a hospice bed
To a special dinner date
And a wet Red Rose 

I hold in my heart 
The memory of that night
My Rose bush still blooms

In my night garden
My Rose bush exudes that night 
My heart is embraced

A gentle rain falls
Creating weepy puddles 
Reflective mirrors

Absolutely gorgeous! I like how you tell part of your memories but leave the rest open for interpretation. The last section is my favourite as it suggests much but delicately Thank you Karen
