La Vie en Rose

A Poem by tamemei

Does a rose remember when she was a bud?

As she shrugs her mantle of burgundy red

Amass with thorns, grown out the soot and mud

Her final goodbye as she lowers her head.

I read this poem because the song La Vie en Rose was my mom's favorite and I read it out loud at her funeral. (Her middle name was Rose). That being said the answer is YES. The rose remembers as long as there is someone there to give her their heart.
