Description
Another Rose was here when I took a glance
But now she's gone
Was it by choice or chance?
I shall never know what came to be
Of my sweet rose in the middle with me.
She came by day
She left by night
What caused her to
Take off in flight?
I miss my sweet and lovely Rose.
A teardrop falls as my eyes close.
Iin memory of my long time friend, Rose Belsher, whom I miss very much even after all these years....)

Thank you for your heartfelt comments. The missing "Rose" is in reference to Rose Belsher, a co-worker and friend who passed away. She was only 62. We were friends for many years.She taught lst grade. I taught 2nd grade in a really tough district. Quite a few years have gone by since she died, but I think of her often.

Anne-Elizabeth,your words made me feel quite sad for a moment ,for you,and for me remembering someone I have "lost" too.But your tribute of this still life here is so serenely beautiful.A velvety red rose against the softest delph blues.And those rosy pink buds remind me of new beginnings. v/f
