RED ROSE
How long will your beauty last?
Yesterday a bud ... today in full bloom.
How I long to absorb your freshness
into my life,
Your color into my thoughts.
I fain would be to the world as a
bright red rose.
Bringing pleasure to seekers of beauty,
Beautiful memories to those I love.
Tomorrow will flaw your perfection,
Your beauty fades ...
others take your place.
For too brief a moment you flourished,
And only your fragrance remains.
