Roses to Remember

Roses, roses, roses; I was obsessed with roses.

I needed to paint roses; pictures and pictures of roses.

I sat by your bedside night after night; watching and waiting for your appointed time to leave.

I would paint you roses that you enjoyed so.

It warmed my heart to see you smile and to know that I had made you happy.

So when you left, I could not buy flowers to throw away.

It was roses I bought so we could plant and remember you always and forever each time I walk out my door.

I will take the same loving care of each rose that I took with you.

And painted roses on the wall to remember your smile and the twinkle in your eye.

The softness of the petals will remind me of you sweet soft touch.

The beauty of each flower will remind me of the beauty of your life and soul.

I will smile and perhaps a tear will come.

The best parts of your soul and self will grow within each petal.

The beauty of you life will live forever.skye2009
