ROSE PETALS

ROSE PETALS

The rose petals fell to the ground

The wind picked up and blew them all around

I remember when that burgeoning bud was new

So precious and delicate of a baby pink hue

I watched it grow to maturity

So delicate, so beautiful in it's fragility

And as it bloomed with heady fragrance

I watched the bees buzz and around it dance

Then one day the petals fell and the winds blew

It was time, I guess, I knew

Nothing lasts forever one day it will die

But wipe away those tears please don't cry

For everything in life has an end but also a beginning

For winter will pass and soon the birds again will be singing

And through the chilly soil will appear shoots new

For as the sun shines will grow buds of a baby pink hue

But this time they will be stronger and a new cycle will begin

And the bees will buzz and the heady fragrance smelt again
