A Beautiful Rose

Forever waiting for life to hold her back

Though knowing she's meant for greatness

Endowed with thorns that stick out of the bouquet

She's always unsure of what she offers

Deep in her heart, she wants to share

Yet, equally afraid of being misunderstood

She believes in her greatness, yet remembers when it was unaccepted

Making it hard to believe in what's true

She continues to offer her gifts

All petals and thorns included

Love is offered to nourish greatness

She continues sharing to inspire care

A beautiful rose

With layers of petals to offer

Rooted in love to persevere the weather

She shares with all to inspire great smiles
