An inspiring story you've told here in verse....but I think you could've done better with another picture......one with a rose or roses...just a thought..otherwise good job.

Thanks again. I made the change to petal. I wrote it this afternoon. It is funny. When I finish a poem I read it and it reads great. An hour goes by and I reread it and it is not as good. I really question my poetic abilities.

A grandiose work from the poet. The format and rhyme is beautiful. Great work.
My best part, "The old man smiled
And perched himself on the familiar
Bench
That had held his body so nicely
Over the years"
