I was nominated on Facebook by Paige Namuth for a 5 day poetry challenge. Not sure of the rules or if there are any. Here is what I have done so far:

Day 1 of the five day poetry challenge I was nominated for by Paige Namuth.

Made it home.
Home is our Sandhill retreat,
And the rose made the journey, too.

Unpacked memories,
Opened up all the windows,
And a cooling breeze filled this country home.

There was the rose.
Soon it's beauty will be in full wilt,
And will remind me she is gone to a New Home.

Nothing lasts forever.
Not the rose nor the breeze,
And the journey is both fun and sad.

Dance through the fun times of life,
Sing through the sad times of death,
And be the rose until the moment is gone.

Forever can be a memory,
That one can unpack for reflection,
And know also that a dried rose will remember.
