May I Offer Her A Single Rose Poem by Gert Strydom

May I Offer Her A Single Rose



May I offer her a single deep red rose
as a witness of my love, my integrity
that she may in the withering see

how frail life is
and knows
how dear she is to me

and may it be
that this single thing
bring her to my arms.

[Reference: Go, lovely rose by Edmund Waller.]
