Beauty in a Rose

A rose is a sign of beauty, but why is there none in death?
The flower brought joy in life, but why is there none in death?
The memory’s there to carry on the spirit of the rose
But all in all memories fade and understanding blooms & grows.
Now the precious flow’s gone back to join w/ earth
And now you see that beauty comes in death & not just birth.
(August 1996)
