EVEN ROSES

Teddy and his Mom put fresh roses
on granny's grave
Three days later,they visited again
But Teddy cried,"Why, Mom, why"?
It rained so much,the roses had died.
"Just like your granny,even lovely
roses have to die sometime".

"Remember,son,your love
for each other,
and our promise to care for
her roses and enjoy as she did.
We'll bring some more soon--
But, even roses have to die."
