The Rose

She is like the seed

Not willing to show what she hides

Inside

The not yet rose.

She is like the sprout

Small

Yet strong as she grows

The soon to be rose.

She is like the rosebud

Tightly closed to hide

The beauty she has

Inside

The almost rose.

She is like the full bloom rose

Soft, beautiful, and strong

She lives her life

So long

The lonely rose.

She is like the thorn

Painful but necessary

She protects herself

Always wary

The careful rose.

She is like the root

Strong, digging deep

Always striving to help

And keep

Herself from falling

Failing

The mighty rose.

The barely,

The almost,

The beautiful, careful,

The strong and lonely,

The mighty rose,

The mighty rose.
