Floral Print

Stop and smell the roses even if they aren't there Stop and smell the flowers even if they are dead or bear Stop and smell the roses because each petal has a different scent and every curve is a masterpiece, like a Renaissance painting Pass by a rose and you may miss a lifetime Pass by a daisy and you may lose your smile Pass by a sunflower and your nightmares could start to become a sad reality Appreciate what you take for granted or your heart will hibernate instead of bloom There's a simplistic complexity that is painted to the curves of every rose How can something so small hold so much beauty When you can answer this you're eyes can truly see, your heart will smell grace, your ears can feel the future Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what do you let your eyes hold Whatever it is, remember before you get too old Enjoy the event of a white rose p.s. don't let the world distract you from the paintings on the petals...
