Once a Rose took up a rose
And placed it in a vile.
The rose then died, and so did I,
It stayed in there a while.

Once a girl displaced her rose
And left it there alone.
The sun didn't shine, and the roses died,
and no happiness was shown.

Once a boy held tight his rose,
And kept it close to heart.
The pettles wrinkled, the stem got limp
And it withered and fell apart.

Once a woman cut a rose
And placed it in a vace.
It dried and fell apart, you see,
It died right in it's place.

Once a man took a rose
And brought it to his love.
She threw it by her beside
And into her nightstand, it was shoved.

Once a Rose picked a rose
And brought it home to rest.
It never moved, it never woke,
But it died it's very best.

If a Rose were a rose,
Then how frightening that'd be.
For when the rose would die,
Rose would die too, you see.
I was thinking about death... and with death comes thought of my newly deceased mother. My mother's favorite flower was the rose... therefore that's how i asociate roses with death.
