Thorns will thicken,
Petals will fade,
Though the stem may wither,
The Flower still remains.

Appearance will crumble,
Roots will losen,
Though beauty is gone,
The Flower still remains

Sun will be lost,
Leaves will fall,
Though the plants will die,
The Flower still remains.

The author's comments:
This piece has a double meaning. The Flower is capitalized to represent it as a symbol of love and commitment
