A Prayer of Roses

A red rose petal, I give because you weep
And yellow ones I give, while you gently sleep

Blue petals, I lay against your heart
Peach, the perfection, never to depart

An orange petal soft, like the sun ablaze
Lavender I give, for many happy days

Multi color rose, each petal that I share
One by one I give, to show how much I care

But this white rose, I cannot give to thee
I hold it in my hands for all eternity

For if the white I give, you will see me cry
To let it go, I would have to say goodbye

Author notes

For Whispering Wolf, who is laying in the hospital dying.  May Creator hold you in his arms lovingly.  I love you.

    Thank you Keith. He has touched me in so many ways over the years, teaching me so much of what I know today. He is only 40 and that kills me. his body is just shutting down. But my heart knows that Creator will do what is needed. Your words comfort my soul.

    Beautiful

    The rose holding the rose,of her heart.
    Never its petals to then depart.
    The dew thereon each one a tear.
    Of a heart that flowered to now hold dear.

    Beautiful sweet lady.I cannot hold back my tears.
