Still Breathing

Most of us, a rose
Petals fall one by one,
But then there are those
where suddenly, are none.
But to much relief
the petals still exist
living in the breaths
of those he could assist.
A rose gone too soon,
Or a rose meant to save.
Either way, he lives
through the precious gifts he gave.

My cousin Brad, 21, recently passed and was a live organ donor. This is the metaphorical meaning of the poem.
