Release

This is dedicated to you.

Rose picked and given as gift
vase tall occupied by bud, on twig
days go by and changes take place
growth, life, a smile on my face
petals of red so deep and powerful
living off water and light, impossible!
day into night, eyes no longer so bright
red begins to fade, danger and plight
yet time continues as rose does die
body left to nature, spirit to the sky
We are but roses I tell you no lies
given, as gifts, if only we realised
life is a test, to succeed we must
fear God, and place in Him our trust
from our deep vases one day a release
remember, your body, is truly on lease.
