You are Like a Rose - Visitor's Poem

by Elien R
(Belgium)

You are like a rose,
like a rose that grows in my heart,
like a rose that grows in my soul,
like a rose, you give me hope,
and like a rose my hope grows
in my heart and in my soul,
but as a rose your beauty fades,
and you may think I'm strange but I'll tell you this,
it is beautiful to see a rose decay.
