Instructions: Handle with care.

Every stem in me

Every petal on my skin

Every thorn that sits upon my lips

Call me your flower

No

Call me your Rose

Color me a bold yellow and

Let me grow and blossom in the middle of a wild field

Surround me by others just like me

Allow me to bloom to fulfillment

Pick me, gather me, trim me, wrap me

Give me to someone you love

Let me shower them with joy and promise them brighter days

Sit me in the sun and let the light shine on me

Then allow me to wilt and die in peace

Take a part of me and place me in your favorite book

Because there I'll live forever

Forever, your Rose
