Rose


Looking out upon the vast fields of eternity

A simple rose is still in bloom,

Yet beyond that rose doth apear another rose,

 though not so fair when to the first I compare

In this field the roses fade, though none desire this fate.

Tis the same with love though few believe

True love fades as time steals the heart.

The young fair maiden as a rose will be

Trampled by all and left without

A rose blooms quickly with bountiful colors

Then quickly fades in to shades of grey.

Love at first is sweet and grand

Then time marches on chasing the heart

It chases the rose and devours the beauty

In the end all love dies, all flowers fade and all beauty falls.
