Alex Fan Moniz - Red Roses

Where are the red roses

Where is she

Where are the children playing

Waving by the roadside

The dog chasing a ball

Where are the flags

The carossel and laughter

Where is the young boy absorbed

By her tending to her red roses

One day I must grow red roses

I know they won't be the same.
