THE ROSE

My last orange rose blossomed late yesterday.
She was a beautiful surprise, and sweet as the day.

As her petals opened I began to think of you.
Memories of our special times began to filter through.

I remembered all the laughter, and some of the painful tears.
I recalled all the love, and sharing of our hopes and fears.

In my heart I know this is not a good- bye.
Like the rose returns in the spring, somethings will never die.
                      THE VIEW


I saw the view from the other side.
I felt the wind shift.
I felt my heart and soul collide.

I wondered why I was sent here.
I was told I was ment to see.
All I could do was shed a silent tear.

In silence I listen to the night around me.
It sang of happier days to come.
I need to look deeper to truely begin to see.

The windows of my soul will open to a new day.
I will be able to feel the love once more that will stay.
I will take this message that the night offered to me.
I will remember it when my heart feels blind and can not see.
