It started as a seed,
Small and unseen.
It slowly grew into a small and tiny bloom.
Still very fragile, it need extra care and love.
It slowly grew into a beautiful rose.
Bright and full of love, wonderful in every way.
Soon the time came to be cut and put in a bundle along with the others.
It was the loveliest of all.
A true Rose. But of course every rose has its thorns.
It was given as a gift and put in water.
Knowing its life would soon be over.
It started to wilt and lose its color.
It lost petal by petal till there was only one.
and as the last petal fell.
It knew it was over.
She knew everything was done.
And that beauty would not return.
IT soon was dry and crinkly and broke.
But nothing could soften and put it back together.
Not even the tears that would fall.
There would be more but none as special.
As the tiny Red Rose that grew in her heart.
