Sparkling in the morning dew
Each drop a diamond so true
Perhaps a tear fallen from above
Shed by angels filled with love
Velvetly petals glowing with red
Reaching to unfold in the day ahead
Elusive frangrances drifting with wind
Reminders of all the places you've been
Perched on a stem filled with thorns
Growing from the ground so worn
If in this harsh world it can survive
Take from the rose, a lesson in life.



With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Everyone will have to figure out the lesson on their own..

I think the lesson is hardship. We all have to go through that experience sometime, weither we like it or not. This poem is a good representation of that lesson. Well done.

This is so lovely, Your use of a rose as an analogy of the beauty that we each can become if we but keep faith through the struggles of life, is stupendous! Ellie

This is indeed a lovely lesson, even if we grow to be carnations...
