This Rose

Lonely, this
petals dried in the vase
hues faded to old
Brittle fragile
kept from the wind
placed in a corner
to gather dust.

Ah, but memory
sweet life reminds
to appreciate
only moments
fleeting in shallow gasps
gifted when it was.

Once upon
lonely was not
yet birthed to know.
Now is
hope in His Arms alone
wrapped
to love again.

This Rose I shall name,Sadie.
For it equals in love, this fine Lady.
Its pedals, so full, perfect in their shape.
Stem so straight and stern.
Blooming open, yearning to escape.
With a scent like that of Heaven...
Truly a poem that yeilds your name,,
Thanks for sharing this small piece 0f your heart..
