Soft crimson petals with a gentle scent
Takes nourishment from the vine as it grows
Beauty and love attributes it presents
Many words written, poetry and prose
Gift of a rose turned many hearts around
Smiles that accompany revived a life
Vine connects hearts without a single sound
It took only a rose to be his wife
He gave me a rose one hot summer’s day
Aroma filled our years, love was all mine
Season turned cold the rose faded away,
beautiful love has withered on the vine
I think of my rose especially now
Remembering every word of our vow.

Very nicely done. I am unsure but feel this should be plural "many hearts around". again here plural and past tense:"Smiles that accompanied revived my life" Other that that I find it very enciteful, exspresive and memorable. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of work
