Well...uh...here's another one for Spyro...hope he likes it...

She raises her face to the sun,
The darkness she will shun

The child looks on,
his battle with disease won

His face is the first she sees,
His hair flowing in the breeze

He stares at Nature's wonder,
A rose, not a blunder

A rose looked back,
his beauty not a lack

Time goes by
and the boy wonders why

The rose is not red
It's bud seemingly not fed

He holds the rose in his palm,
and hears the wind's funeral psalm

"Oh well," he says "There's always Spring,
spring always has something to bring.

--He sits and waits for the roses

Great Job.

Another delicate rose gone... . I think the message is 'Life is Short'. I take this one to the heart.

Such a dignified boy..he has been tortured by disease and yet he remains hopeful and bright-eyed about the future....

this one i liked but i am confused about "she"---does "she" refer to the rose itself?
