The Rose Poem by Jessica Elizondo

It was their first date. He held her and told her that she was the one he wanted to be with. She smiled and knew he was the one. Just then he pulled out a rose from behind his back then gave it to her. It was the most beautiful rose she had ever seen. She took it and kept it with her always. At their wedding he pulled out another rose, then gave it to her. She felt a tear of happiness fun down her cheek. She took it and said 'I do.' Ten years later she was driving home from work when an on coming car hit the drivers side door, she was rushed to the hospital but It was too late. The husband cried and cried for days and asked God why she was takin away. Was this really her time to go? Why must I hold this pain? I loved her father. Why? ...At her funneral he walked up to her casket and a tear hit the glass. He couldn't believe it and he suddenly wanted to be in there with her to end his pain. Alas he lay the rose on her casket and another tear fell, 'One last rose until I shall join you my love, my life.
