A beautiful rose
who absorbs the sun and soil with confidence
for she knows her precious petals
will live on
and grow
A beautiful rose
Who has been picked from her soil and stripped of her sun
No longer has confidence
That the water in her vase will allow her petals
To live on
and grow
The same way her sun and soil did
