"THE ROSE"
by- Patsy Jo Reed Sircy I saw the BUD at dusk last eve, wistfully I sighed, I rushed time to have morn' when it would open wide; The moon's tears were there, to hint a moment's stay, My memory seized the Blink in TIME, then it flew away! The petals bulged to show their beauty, I fought a tear, I strained to think, recall why I felt a Fleeting FEAR; Hauntingly I reached for shifting grains in Sands of Time, The CALLIOPE played on, no pause for reason or rhyme! One Blink, ONE BLINK, I held the precious passing Bloom, The whirling CLOUDs became a ceiling, with no room; Would I had turned the GLASS to try to buy some Sand, A few more grains, but now my ROSE grows in another Land! No brighter ROSE will ever bloom, none to match that SMILE; Now GOD smiles down, with ROSE in Hand, the one I had awhile! 7 SEPT. 1997 IMO my REED cousin, Edna Diane DeMontbreun Eagar, gone too soon!
