last rose of summer

I captured the last rose of summer

the year that my beloved died

the rose is an American beauty

with leaves as green as her eyes


It weighs down the doctors papers

the ones that say I will soon die

but I know its all just the vapors

so family don't you dare cry


I plan on just living forever

(they all say she lives in my heart)

so if I die that would again kill you

I must live to be an old fart

I thought the first was fine

LOL! That was so funny, the last line! Such a serious verse then the last line. Your soul mate would love you for it! And the thought of living forever to keep her alive is a very profound thought. Thanks, Jules.

Well said! I think you should leave the formatting alone. It frames out the image on the right hand side.

Haha. :) Love it - so bittersweet, then sad, then a punchline at the end. And that image is just gorgeous.
