Wilted Roses: Poem

 

Wilted Roses

The roses have wilted

But I cannot throw them away.

Memories wrapped around the pathway. –

Who gave them to you?

What happened?

Why can’t you throw them away? –

They remind me of life.

Everything has a beginning and the end

Like the roses that wilted,

Sweet and sorrowful like life.

I just cannot throw them away.

There are memories on the pathway.

It takes the origins to recollection

In tranquility,

Overflow personal emotions

Of the life well-lived

When roses wilted.
