How long have you been here?
Not too long I suppose
I paused, looking up in a fear
And falling out of my hand, one red rose
I smiled back saying “long as the day”
The conversation went on
He soon left after we had nothing to say
Shortly after the sun was gone
The next day the same incident occurred
This time he need not bother to speak
For we both know for sure
Tis the fate of the weak
As I flew south, others went north
For me there was nothing left to stake
The others are still trying to find their worth
And I have nothing left but to wake
