SUMMER ROSES

On a cold, chilly evening I was looking at some photos of roses.  I thought I would share them for my next post.

"Oh dear!  Is Summer over?"
I  heard a rosebud moan,
When first her eyes she opened
And found she was alone.
"Oh, why did Summer leave me,
Little me, belated?
Where are the other roses?
I think they might have waited."
Soon the little rosebud
Saw to her surprise
Other rosebuds opening,
So she dried her eyes.
Then I heard her laughing
Gaily in the sun,
"I thought Summer was over.
Why it's just begun."
