Beautiful Red Petals

This is a poem that I made up:


In a world of beautiful red petals I look up from chalk and smell the sweet fragrance
 . . . of roses.
With leaves of deep green, I pause and smell and wonder.
It reminds me of a house with a rose bush from which I picked petals,
 the day we were to move.
It's been three years, but still the fragrance comes back from those same petals.
It's a moment of wonder, a moment of thanks to God.
I still have those rose petals, dry and crusty with age, in a box where I keep my special things.
The beautiful red petals . . . the very same beautiful red petals.
