velvet blooms blood rose
subtle scent wafts nose
petals
folds of ruffled rows
vivid color grows
sepals
thorns prick of sorrows
wilted tomorrows
medals
blood rose

They are so beautiful while they last… so short, so sweet.

Even lovely as they slowly fade…

Yes, motherhood is blood, sweat, tears… and roses!

A very good reminder that life is not always a bed of roses! Age brings a lot of wilting and some thorns as well! Nicely done!
