The Rose
October 1, 2009
Like the petals falling from a flower
This loss of trust
Fell apart with grace.
A yearning, youthful bud
Immortalized by the shameless sun.
The leaves reach towards the light
It must use to survive,
Faith in its self-preservation intact.
Content with its being,
And what it means
To be a rose,
This little bud hopes to grow.
And I want it to, also.
For in this flower I see hope.
A simplicity I can’t help but admire.
If it can survive,
So can I.
