Roses - Sonnet
Thou art beautiful, so red that thou glow
Thy color is liketh bright scarlet blood
Glistening drops against the pure white snow
About to bloom, to change from a rose bud
In a few days, thou wouldest have blossomed
Bloomed and haveth thousands of red layers
To the cold, thou haveth never succumbed
Thou lighteth up faces of wanderers
Yet thou wouldest have withered and died soon
For lasteth cannot, such stunning beauty
The petals fallen off, it turns maroon
Next year, thy glory shall return to thee
So life, where everything is in cycles
My friend, never lose faith in miracles.
