"The Blooming Rose"

A tiny rosebud
Shaken by a soft spring breeze
A reltionship in the beginnings
Small, fragile
Easily hurt, easily torn apart

With time it grows
Slowly growing
Larger, stronger
The sunlight feeds it
As love feeds a relationship

And one day
The rose opens into full bloom
Showing all its beauty
Its strength and determination
To make it all the way

Be like the rose
Start small
Build big
And never forget
All the hard work
Love, and determination
It took to get there
It is too easy to forget
And be torn apart by the wind
Love is a precious thing
And should not be belittled
Or thrown by the wayside
Remember your roots
Remember it all
Remember the rose
And be happy
