Metaphor.....,
Dear sweet child,
this is a beautiful red rose,
just like you,
among thorns she will grow.
Keep her dear,
hold her close,
know her meaning,
be it smiles or tears.
Always cherish her,
feel her soft petals,
hear her meaning,
while her melodies are sung.
She brings love,
as well as pain,
with tears that fall,
their both the same.
Some roses are sent,
with second chances,
she brings hope and forgiveness,
with her scent.
Pleasure hides among her thorns,
she may prick,
but her beauty and joy,
is still beyond measure.
When a red rose is given,
it means love and longing,
pressed between book's pages,
her petals are sometimes saved.
I shed many tears,
a promised petal,
Is all,
that was left.
