The beauty of a single rose should never go unnoticed.
It is through nature that we can be enlightened.
We should reflect upon the beauty of a rose
With its petals so perfectly packed, formed, and placed.
Within its formation we should see our own lives.
The touch of a petal gently stroking our cheek is like our own tenderness.
The fragrance…a sense of peace within our soul, and the gentleness that is our own.
It stands so bold as if to share its beauty, as we too should.
And though a rose may sometimes be imperfect and lose a petal or two,
The beauty of that single rose should never go unnoticed.
