At times you feel like that rose <br />That sits apon your night stand. <br />But see that rose it wilts away, <br />And you are to stay. <br /> <br />That little rose once full of life, <br />Inspired you to play. <br />But now it’s gone and wilt away, <br />Yet to stay another day.<br /><br />Shannon Snyder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wilting-rose/
