Rose
✺
If God made little roses
of heartbroken blue
I'd wear one at my collar
to remind me of you
―Gillian Welch
~
Gather ye rosebuds
while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower
that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
―Robert Herrick
~
Today
a pink rose in a vase
on the table.
Tomorrow,
petals.
―Braided Creek
