Fulcrum Of A Rose

 
"Something with inner beauty will 
live forever, like the scent of a rose."

                               Quote by – Alex Flinn
_________________________

While walking in the forest I came upon wild roses growing,
        they were in a variety of colors red, white, yellow, and purplish;
their stems so prickly but their petals a fulcrum of lovely scents,
                 O, there was a sweetness in every folded petal.
    Each scent unique, the heart of the rose, the foundation, center;
           the petal glistens, glimmers, sending its scent into the air.

Within me the heart of the rose is my soul, beautiful and sweet,
         people tell me I am beautiful but it is the outside that they see;
it is what lies within shining through, it is kindness, and gentleness,
                  O,  it is the sweetness to every person met in life.
    This kind of beauty is like a saturated wild rose growing,
            to be touched, loved, admired, and told you smell so good.
