Roses 

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
