The Most Beautiful Red Rose
A beautiful red rose
Ready to drop its petals
One petal falls
She starts to stumble,
But picks herself up
Another petal falls
She trips again,
But she picked herself up again
Day by day more petals fall
Until the very last petal is left
By this time
She is at the point to where she can't even stand
This one petal is what keeps the flower from dying
It is the most beautiful of all the petals
It is soft and sweet
It has a delicious smell
The most inspiring quality of this petal is that it is trying so hard
To remain on the flower
The place it was born, and grew
The place it was introduced to all the other petals
It doesnt want to leave
If you look close enough you can see a tear
Or maybe it is just a drop from the rain
Finally, the petal loses it's battle
It falls to the ground
It never loses its beauty though
She finally loses her battle
She falls asleep
Never losing her beauty
She became the most beautiful red rose
