Preserved Roses
By SMYGO4EVA
Kindness from a true heart
One life for another
Children out in the world
The need for guidance
Truth, love, and compassion
Such rare concepts nowadays
A reminder of mortality
Away from a monster's grasp
The safety of family
The security of a home
To sleep without nightmares
To not be blinded by vengeance
A heart's glow from a warm embrace
Beauty and grace to say goodbye
By time
By death
By the end to overcome
As a smile fades
As heaven weeps
A mother not to be forgotten
Such affection will not be forsaken
Now home is an illusion
Lost and uncertain
The rebirth of a true homeland
Where peace will be forevermore
A mother is never forgotten
She has preserved the roses
Safe from a gloomy day
