The last rose of summer lingers of a soft fragrance <br /> as the days of summer fade into days only remembered <br /> over the fires embers that stir yesterdays moment. <br /> <br /> The last rose of summer whose beauty brought love and caring <br /> in the cool evening breeze to a heart <br /> touched briefly by its petals of soft color. <br /> <br /> The last rose of summer that but briefly spoke of tenderness <br /> to a heart in the stillness of the night <br /> to be remembered in the quiet fragrance of a rose. <br /> <br /> The last rose of summer whose petals are pressed to a book <br /> hiding it's treasure of yesterdays love <br /> remembering days held in time not to be forgotten.<br /><br />Elaine E.
