Like A Rose
Beginning small
Slowly rising
Growing, thriving
Every twist and turn something new to be discovered
Each path brings you closer
Teaches you something significant
As each mystery unravels into a larger one
More to be unearthed
Along the way
There are obstacles to meet
Thorns to block your way
You are faced with difficult decisions, fears to overcome
Virulent and deadly
Pain that leaves you scarred forever
Lessons you will never forget
But wisdom to make better choices in the future
Through all the bad memories
There will also be grand experiences
Memories bursting with color
Happiness, love
Serenity and peace
Making up for anything unpleasant
Complete bliss
A reassurance that everything will be all right
For at the end of the journey
You will reach your destination
Deep in the heart
If you have ambition and determination
Life is like a rose
A sign of beauty, a sign of hope
A sign of anything and everything you can be
If you believe
