Red Roses Come Alive

When I tied the knot I never told my wife that life was all roses I said this think of me as the only red rose nurse me nourish me as you wish but remember life is not a bed of roses but do accept me as an exception with life's thorns learn to live and so she did believe me being nubile and young today she asks for the red rose in me I say age catches your eyes I am as red as I was then but thorns now pierce thee no surprise bleed your eyes as blindness over powers you will then only realise the red rose in me when it dies and as in memory you may rise do place me in the book of eternity till the rose in me for ever survives I shall never die for I spoke the truth you forgot all about my rosy truth at times took thorns to poke at me believe you me a red rose I be still for times immemorial Will.
