Roses

Have you ever seen a rose?
Sitting quietly on a sunny day,
Minding its own business,
Tanning in the sun,
Not a care in the world,
Not a care for anyone
 
Have you ever seen a rose?
Dancing in the breeze,
Moving with the land,
The wind,
And the sea
 
Have you ever seen a rose?
Singing a song,
Painting a picture,
Or maybe humming along
 
Have you ever seen a rose?
That didn’t know about all of the hate,
And the war, and the debate
Have you ever seen a rose?
Alone on a bush,
Without any other roses,
To talk to on the brush
 
Maybe you haven’t seen these things,
Maybe you have,
But what is important to remember is
Even though they all have thorns
 
All roses are not the same
In fact they are all different
They all come in different shapes and sizes
Colors and smells
 
But what makes them all wonderful
Is that because they are different
That is what makes them beautiful.
