A beautiful rose
One in a million
A beautiful baby blue

Sitting in the sun
Soaking up the warmth
And never letting go

Keeping it for
when it rains
and catching the rain when it falls

Its petals folding over
With the weight
It continues to hold on

But on it are thorns
To protect others
From the weight it bears

Scared to burden others
While it burdens itself
Hoping to show that it cares

Wanting the world
Too be happier
With its selfless grace



Hurting itself in the process
It pierces its delicate petals
Letting no one see the pain

But one day it will see
The pain it hides
Makes it truly beautiful

One day it will let the pain
Be held by another
Knowing the other does not mind

One day it will
Share the rain
And not just the sun

And then maybe one day
Its rain will be carried
By petals other than its own
