The bright red petals speaking of life
The thorns speaking of challenges
That rose to me represents life
The red for the blood that runs through our veins
Without which no life would remain
Do you see the thorns on the rose?
Thorns like the troubles through which we go
The Rose, so vibrant, so strong, and in bloom
Much as we are when on the wings of our dreams
No matter the troubles that pull at the seams
Our life is vibrant and in bloom
Do you see how like the rose which survives through the seasons
We also survive despite all the reasons
We are at times fragile like the velvety petals
And yet we still manage to weather
Do you see that like the rose has its thorns
That we are also sharp and prickly
Like the thorns on the rose
We hurt those that try to get close
Do you see how we manage to survive
Like the seed beneath the winters cold ground
Appearing dead to those around
And yet each spring the seed bursts forth into new life
Do you see how we renew our lives
As we come back from our troubles
We grow and blossom and burst forth like new
Can you see how that is true of me and you
Like the beautiful vibrant rose
Which blossoms as it grows
We also blossom and burst forth anew
And stronger because of what we go through
