If a Raindrop

If a raindrop
 could represent
 the love in
 a man's life

 a rose would grow
 being much like love itself
 starting at the bottom
 with splinters and thorns

 getting to the top
 where the soft pedals grow
 if a teardrop
 would represent

 any sad moments in a man's life
 the rose
 would start to dry
 where once stood

 a beautiful rose
 now stands
 an old dried stern
 only the memories remain

 the beautiful memories
 of watching it grow
 and the sad memories
 of letting it go.
