Analysis of Rose
Watch me grow, watch me play
Rose kept the thorns away
never looking frail or old
coloured with love and beaming with bold
a women with the strongest branches
who never got enough chances
her mind was slipping, it wasn’t her fault
the petals falling into a halt
her stem could not withhold her beloved
but her nearest and dearest always felt loved
her presence was enough for them all
however they wished she could just recall
eventually the petals fell, not to grow back again
time lost, and love felt with pain
not one day, not one hour
did I forget about my flower
