THE IRONIES OF LIFE,
ARE BEST EXPOSED
BY THE COMPLICATED STRIFE
OF THE MAJESTIC ROSE.
IT YEARNS TO BE DIFFERENT,
AND IT LEARNS TO BE FREE.
IT BLOOMS ITS AWESOME BEAUTY
FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.
IT BEGINS IT'S TERRIBLE STRUGGLE
INTERTWINED IN A DANGEROUS JUNGLE
SURROUNDED BY RAZOR-SHARP THORNS.
UNINTIMIDATED BY THEIR APPEARANCE,
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE HE MUST REMAIN FEARLESS
EVEN IF THE THORNS RESEMBLE DEVILISH HORNS.
THE ROSE IS BORN WITH AN INSTINCT
TO PROVE HIMSELF UNIQUE
AND DISPLAY ALL OF HIS BEAUTY
FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO SEEK.
HE DOES REJOICE IN HIS GREAT TRIUMPH
BECAUSE GREAT RISKS HE DID HAVE TO TAKE.
MORE SAVORED IS HIS VICTORY
MORE GLORY IT DOES MAKE.
YES! LONG LIVE THE RED ROSE.
AGAINST ALL ODDS, HE STILL GROWS
AND MANAGES TO BLOOM IN FULL GLORY.
IN SPITE OF A PAST FILLED WITH DOOM,
HIS PETALS ARE LAYERED IN MAJESTIC GROOM.
IT'S THORNY BEGINNING,
MAKES IT A WONDERFUL STORY.
