Poem Title:
Poem
With every rose there are thorns: fear, pain, jealousy, anxiety, sadness, and grief It takes time, love, and patience to grow a beautiful rose bush But it's time well-spent in order to see the complexity and beauty hidden beneath and between each layer It is in the depths of the layers that happiness, contentment, peace, love, and joy will be revealed to those who choose to open their eyes and see While the rose may appear a little rough around the edges, look harder and discover the delicate design created by our Master Layers slowly unravel and display the scars from pains of the past as the rose grows and develops Water droplets fall on the petals creating a stream of nutrients for the flower to bloom The free-flowing stream of water allows love to grow as fragrance fills the air Thorns along the way remind you of the pain and loss you once endured so you can appreciate the beauty in the new blooming rose In this bloom, there will be a new joy and an opportunity for mature love and purity to thrive creating a garden of beauty for all to see and share in Scarring from pain and suffering is now faded and there is a joy and freedom to love and be loved that surpasses all understanding The promise and hope of new beginnings Stop to smell the roses and remember how beautiful you are inside and out!
