Sun Set As the Son Sat

Sun Set As the Son Sat By MEH3 As the sun set The son sat Realizing that he has so much left Even as the sun set But the son sat there wondering what's next He was so caught up in the beauty that he saw as the sun set Never realizing the potential that he had Until the son sat But he was so paralyzed by the sunset Wishing he had someone to share this moment with staring off at the sunset Than he noticed He was like a rose That hasn't even bud yet Sitting there waiting just to be next The next one to blossom And be on exhibit But the son concluded that he was still in the unfurling stages Just trying to open up next And allow his buds to set As the sun set the son understood that in order to blossom He had to watch what he fed his rose plant Because too much fertilization Could only lead to death So as the son sat he became wise He thought…. In order to make a rose sprout He couldn't be blinded by the beauty of that rose plant Because pruning is vital part of that rose success Remembering to nurture his rose Especially, before the sun set Because even though a black rose is special It still represents death So the son sat his mind on courage Because he never realized what a rose meant As the son thought In order to grow he has to be ready for the sun to set Because tomorrow's sunrise will only allow the sun to set.... Think about it Make sure you feed yourself the correct things you need in order to grow Because sometimes we feed ourselves not knowing That it may lead to death So step back for a minute And realize that watering that plant leads to success And we all want to grow, we all need to grow Allowing others to see our success From A little seed That was planted in the ground Not knowing how it would grow But the son was being patient to see his rose success The son planted these seeds to allow God to water his rose plant As the son continues to pray That He allows him to grow Each and every day So, as the son sit on the beach And watch the sun set He realize that God is not done with him yet #ItzMeThePoet
