The Rose Poem by Christine K. Trease

Christine: I give you a 9 on roses: one of my favorite flowers, I always buy roses for special occaisions. I wrote this one not to long ago, I give you a preview, than I shall post; Read your profile, you are something special. I came from a large family,9 children, I managed to have only two, both great kids and only 2 grand children, and one great, my great is 4 years old and they live in Okinawa, Japan. I will be 82 in October, and started poetry 3 years ago, and have not stopped, I did not know if my work would have any response, and with poem hunter, I have my wish come true, people really read my work, get a minimun of 55 hits a day, my valentine poems ran over two weeks with over a hundred hits a day.. thank you for your wonderfull coments, I need encouragement to post as I have over a hundred Haiku's and over a thousand poems, don't intent to post all, The Haiku's may take preference if accepted, The Rose The rose will wither in the days to come However, not the memories of where it is from. In a vase stands tall your rose. When it dies, I will find a book To press its Memory for a later look, your Precious rose will never die, To live on, a feast for Someone’ else’s eyes.
