Poem: The Rose 2022

The rose color rich — deep:

Each petals fall, I feel as if my heart,

Wish to go to sleep;

Especially when u and I depart:

Your absents, left me thinking real deep:

The rose lovely, its fragrance brings,

Beautiful, memories of the sunrise:

Makes the entire universe — smile,

Saves many lives: The rose — beauteous,

Even with its stems, that has many thorns;

Is more than a golden prize and there,

I welcome your beautiful love,

Safely in my heart—with a smile,

Once again, I open my eyes.
