239. Red Covered Roses

Red covered roses
All in a row
Heating young hearts
Love beginning to grow
A simple smile
And nothing more
Brings such happiness
A young lover’s lore
Forgotten dreams
Remembered again
The passage of time
Sorrow does begin
Life just goes on
Without much reason
Romance is over
No holiday season
Things do end
Souls left undone
Nothing ever happens
No having fun
Mature minds recall
Days of the smile
The fire is relit
For only a while
Red covered roses
All in a row
Heating old hearts
Love continues to grow
