I watched as my beautiful Valentine Roses
began to droop.
Their stems began to weaken.
I could see pink, fuschia and peach colored
petals dropping to the table.....one by one.....
They had been the object of my
affection for one full week. Sadly, I knew it was time to
remove them. Somehow I struggled with the idea
and found myself almost forcing them to hold on to
life
for a little while longer.
The late afternoon sun began filtering through the
blinds.
In a single
moment
I could still see beauty
in
these
"ragged roses"
