Water From A Source Denied

     cast on to the floor
cast on to the floor
           Sadness
Sadness

So Sad

 The rose took pride of place,

Her heart leapt when it arrived,

Not noticing it's thorns,

Only the bud,

Showing so much potential,

With just a little hard work,

Dedication......

Time stolen from other activities.....

The petal of the beautiful rose,

Began to open,

Though now it lies wilting....

Discouragment

Lack of understanding,

The rose for now droops

Will it have the strength

To remain alone,

Lacking water friom the source,

It would like........

Water from other sources,

May lift up the bud a little...

Encourage further growth,

Or maybe the will within the rose.

crushed whilst so young,

Has somehow died also......

And will not be revived,.

Time alone will tell

The rose, in some water now,

Smiling out at the world,

With a tinge of sadness.

Nice poem. Roses are like humans too - they need support to keep them alive.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful hub.

Perhaps you will cherish the memory of this rose

and it will live again in the scent of another flower.
