[bodytext] => A single, lovely rose rests undisturbed upon the table growing steadily, unaffected by events that occur around it Brightly colored petals -- a dark crimson hue with an intoxicating scent that fills one's nostrils with perfume It shows no signs of the hardships it has viewed over the years No wilting petals, no graying in color It continues to grow and prosper, oblivious to the surrounding world Serving as a silent, uncritical witness of many sad moments and heartfelt memories From the birth of a newborn child to the death of a beloved family member From children's cries of anguish to squeals of happiness and laughter First days of kindergarten, goodbyes, declarations of love So much has occurred, yet it remains an island of constancy in a sea of chaos It serves as a reminder of the past and an indication of the future Only a single, lovely rose [comments] => 1 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 43 [informant] => xlguesswho14xx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
