i feel a little sad, another Rose has left this place

i used to look about the place

and see her there .

she was quiet , but she sat with a regal air , her white hair always was tied back .

and her smile was like that of a queen.

she was a real beauty in her day , her eyes were a pretty blue , her legs long and lean. she had long since stopped speaking to us .

but i always saw on her face a smile .

i miss her already , but it was her time to go . her time to rest  and my time with her has been blessed .

i had to stop myself from crying  when i found out she was gone .

it is not  appropriate to cry at work , but these tears i felt within my heart .

and deep inside i felt the emptieness of the loss.

dear Rose

if i could have only said goodbye.

and held your hand just one more time ...

rest in peace my dear

and know i'll remember you forever .
