I raised a yellow roseAnd named it after you
Sometimes I press the glass against my chest;
the glass that's now your home
It feels like you are there if only I hug tight enough
that simple, handpainted frame
Shushed by the doors of death but, I hear your voice inside me evermore
If meadow unfolded before my feet
to walk across the border
I would run until there was nothing to run from
I would run straight into youI named a rose after you
I whispered "you are the best, most beautiful rose in the whole entire world"
"Grow big and strong, I know you can, I know that you will live"And the flower listened.
Blooming and blooming again without a wither
I wish you could have blossomed
off words from my heartBut, rather
bodies age just like a rose
But only roses rise from the dead each summeryear after year
waking up from their slumber
