To Blossom From Love


So delicate the rose
placed there by loving hands.
Something so innocent as a touch
can destroy the beauty it
possess leaving it in
waste.

Man as in nature
can also be destroyed with as
little more than a touch,
word or deed.

As with a rosebud
mans heart is were his beauty
and life force emanate from. To
tamper with or force conflicting
ideas would destroy the very
nature of his soul.

The heart of nature
and man must come forth out in
to the open to breath in life and all
that it so freely gives so as to
grow to maturity.

A rose has no choice
as to the direction it is going,
but man if nurtured as a babe and
trained well as a youth, has a good
chance of walking in to maturity
confident and his heart will
of showed him the way.

On this walk through life
he will have in front of him many
choices and also directions to choose
from. Each step taken with foresight
and wisdom will guild him
through with mastery
over much.

In the height of his life
he will have blossomed, giving
all who look on him in a loving
way, pride and heart
felt joy.

As with a bud
that bloomed in to a
majestic rose, so to the boy will
grow to manhood with all of the
beauty and love for life that
in the beginning was so
freely given.

Beauty and wisdom - a joy to behold.

Love ya', gal.

Hi
Marge-Tracie

Thank you so much for your lovely replys, I was not quiet sure about this poem, its one you can't get off your mind, yet you can't seem to put it all together, and I really did not know if it made any sense to anyone but me, thank you again.

Love, Cerenity

In everything in you

This "rose" says well done.
