Small and delicate
The pedals of a light pink rose, so small and delicate against her face
Soft and smooth
The silky essence of each touch, so warm and embracing
Strong yet vulnerable
The long stem withstanding time, yet so vulnerable and open to dispare
Young and beautiful
The young rose against her porcelain face, so beautiful are the pair
A race against time
As days pass, it whithers and wilts
Still beautiful in its creator's eyes
With every wrinkle, the creator still sees the young beauty it once was
The rose in her hair
Both are one in the same.

A happy little giggle
A whisper of a voice, not much to say
But a smile that could light a room
One little dimple,
Small and delicate
The pedals of a light pink rose, so small and delicate against her face
Soft and smooth

You were a child of nature, a little girl with golden tresses,
Those smiling eyes, with their infectious laughter,
Who graced
Hawaiian beauty
Hips gently undulating
To the sounds of the music
Grass skirt swaying
Like grass on the prairie
Arms dancing

Did they do it in your sleep,
Plant a garden,
