A Rose That Never Fades
There is a Rose that never fades,
a bloom that never dies,
a blossom brighter than the sky,
yet, soft as angels' eyes.
When I tell people of this Rose
somehow they can't conceive
that such a flower can exist.
They say it's make believe.
They ask me why do I engage
in such absurd charades.
I smile, then say, "I'm loved each day
by a Rose that never fades."

This was written for Valentine's Day some years ago.. It was framed with beautiful Rose graphics and now hangs over the kitchen sink where my wife can see it every day... Her name is Wanda Rose.... Jake
