The Rose

The Rose
The rose is a ruby gem,
Through the thorns rip and tear,
Silk petals dance in the breeze,
And even the leaves are red.
The rose is a fair maiden,
Whose beauty never ceases,
Its temperament can change in an
instant,
But the love shall never leave.
The rose is a living thing,
Who breathes, eats, and sleeps,
Who is born and lives and dies,
And grows with care and love.
The rose is a heart,
Red and in bloom,
It changes, and sometimes loves and
hates,
Or really both inside.
The rose is a wild thing,
Tamed and bred long ago,
She is beautiful, but often rough,
And still its instincts are alive,
But is beautiful like a ruby gem.
