I opened the door this morning lo and behold,
I found a single red rose from my love.
His heart melted that day into mine,
As I felt his presence showering down on me from above.
The smell of his cologne all around me again,
As though nothing has changed that day.
But I knew he couldn't be here,
Because I remember the day he went away.
That last note before he said his farewell,
That moment they called him to a battle to fight.
I knew I would never see him again,
But I loved him with all my might.
Letters came and went on by and I wished,
Only to feel that humble embrace.
The day that he chose to be the Good Samaritan,
His love around me will never erase.
I remember the candles and that single red rose,
I hold it close to my heart everyday.
I wake up to his picture every morning,
And I remember that night when he passed away.
But a handful of red roses did hold me close,
And I will never what he said to me.
"Love wherever I go I'll know you will always love me,
But don't be afraid to let my wings soar free."
I must have cried tears and more tears did I,
But a handful of red roses is what kept me living still.
I have a hope that one day when my end comes to me too,
I will stand before him and hold him tight until.
But a handful of red roses we will both be,
Handing out our love to all our humble friends.
I will always remember them like they remember him,
And that to you is my Valentine wish to you I do send!

This is truly a different poem from our other entries... creative, heart-felt, a very different topic, great rhyming... An all around good love poem! But I'm not sure which picture you were basing yourself off on. Please add that in to your author's notes so I can still consider this for a place. Thanks for entering
