DO YOU HEAR ME ROSE?

I like to have these chats with you, Rose.
You listen so attentively, never complain; never did.
I’ve loved you these forty years,
But lately you don’t talk very much.

Do you hear me, Rose?

Do you remember how we fell in love?
We knew very little of life as we do now.
Together we learned of life and love and play.
But lately we don’t play very much.

Do you hear me Rose?

I wish the world could have enjoyed what we had.
For many years we had laughter, joy, and fun,
But lately there seems to be more tears than joy
And fun seems to be something I’ve forgotten.

Do you hear me, Rose?

We grew old and I didn’t want it to end.
You grew ill, and I cared for you every day.
It’s been so lonely since you passed away
I talk to this stone and I can almost hear you answer

Do you hear me, Rose?

Rose?
