Yesterday's Rose Poem by Barry Middleton

Yesterday's Rose



I pledged roses
but you vanished

roses declare love
in fragile petals

I have learned
so I swear an oath

if you return
so will the rose

each day I lay
roses at your door

I have no treasure
no gold or silver

I recall the time
I failed to bring

a promised rose
and lost you

it seems long ago
but I know

the missing rose
was only yesterday
