The Rose

The rose bloomed yellow
in the spring.
So sweet and innocent
petals soft and fine.
The rose bloomed pink
in the summer.
Bright and vibrant
with petals
smooth to perfection.
The rose bloomed red
in the autumn.
Rich in color
and smelling of forgotten
days of sunshine.
The rose did not bloom
in the winter.
White flakes covered
the bed where it lay
sleeping, dreaming
of better days.
