I’ve always liked roses The way they bloom so beautifully How each one is never quite the same as the last They never bloom in the same way Always changing A gentle reminder of the way of life The secrets it exposes Sometimes brutally Reminding you to let go of the past And just focus on the moments of today Look for the beauty in this painting You know, this one called life Look for the little things The ones that make you smile Like roses The ones that come in spring Right after the winter trial Oh how I love the happiness it discloses Those roses
