Soft Rose Petals

They line her way through the shrubbery
And the night that grays
And dips softly into tomorrow

She gazes at the deep and unending sky
Breathes in gently, for it's a pleasant beautiful night
And, the scents of foliage and flowers perfectly combine

The white picket fence, creaks familiarly in the wind
She smiles to herself, for it has always fondly reminded her of him.

Like A Rose

My love for you is like a red, red rose,
It started as a seed but it’s grown and grown.
Its roots reach deep down inside of my chest,
And it grows even more with each passing breath.
The delicate petals lay beautiful and pure,
All the doubts that I’ve had you have since cured.
For all the thorns that this proud rose bears,
They are all softened by the thought of your care.
Soon the rose grows old and withers and dies,
But the love that helped grow it will last for all time.
