See yesterdays rose its faded away <br /> That beautiful rose wasn't put here to stay <br /> The rose can be pink, yellow or red <br /> The petals will drop because they are dead. <br /> The petals will fall to the ground so slow <br /> And be caught up in the wind as it blows <br /> Age doesn't supress or change the odor they had <br /> The savor was never, never bad <br /> It was such a sweet, sweet smelling scent <br /> Are you, like yesterday rose as your life is spent? <br /> Will you leave behind a lasting scent. <br /> Or should you this day humbly repent? <br /> And be remembered long after you leave <br /> As a sweet smelling rose who, really believed.<br /><br />Tressie Ours<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterdays-rose/
