How delicate a petal of a rose

The sweet scent and alluring color

Soft petals with veins of life 

So smooth they melt like butter 


How bold the petal of a rose

And strong they stand against as wind blows 

Intense are the shades 

With passion that seems to bellow


How lovely the stem of a rose 

A balance that occurs 

Flower of promise and hope 

Thorns of loss and defense as it matures 


How beautiful the meaning of a rose 

The product of love and protection 

A rose so enticing has its own flaws 

Nothing nor nobody is pure perfection 


How I wish I was a rose 

Every rose has its thorn 

A beauty that pierces the flesh 

I wonder what mine is ever since I was born.
