roses are forever

There are roses blooming all over the area.

Most of the ones I have seen are along the roadside, without a house in sight.

Maybe they were planted many years ago in front of a farmhouse.

There may not be anything left of the house, but the roses live on.

Buddy said we should plant some along the road out front, so some day when everything else has gone back to dust, folks will know someone lived here.

They say diamonds are forever, but it seems roses come in a close second.
