The Rose

I gazed upon a rose in May
                        and watched its colors fade each day
                        A petal lost by a gentle summer breeze
                        another taken by October's sneeze
                        Over the seasons I watched it worn
                        wilted, shriveled and somewhat torn
                        Winter's frost turned into snow
                        and ne're I wondered where the flower did go
                        For though its appearance went away...

                        The beauty of that rose did stay
