It's risky being a late blooming rose
to dare to be beautiful
when others appeal has faded away
you risk the frost that could come
in the encroaching darkness
and steal away your rueful boldness
but today is warm and the eve will only be cool
and you look beautiful, sitting elegant, Intelligent
your reading glasses perched on your delightful nose
your book in hand and the simple fabric
you've Chosen to wear,
it fails to compete with the women you are,
a strikingly beautiful Autumn Rose
