A single rose
I share with you
planted by care
in the soil of your heart,
which might flower
within your smile
and blossom in joy.
To know it comes as reminder
of how you to me a flower,
special and unique
one I'll always cherish
as your AP grandpa.
Its petals will never wilt
nor die,
not fall to the earth
where they will be forgotten.
So take this verse stem,
place in a vase of your memories,
sit it on the windowsill of your thoughts
anytime you feel neglected.
Because you are the rose
who bring so much love and care
that we all enjoy,
hoping this seed of stanza
buds as peace for you.
That it always will linger
wherever you are
with the fragrance
of happiness.
