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
