The Rose Poem by Destiny Lovett

A Rose It Was. Before This Rose Emerged Into Something Wonderful, She Was Only A Seed. A Seed Waiting To Spread Her Wings And Absorb All The Wonder Around Her. Her Ancestors Grew Tall And Strong And Their Petals Beamed With Pride When The Sun Had Arrived. But, This Rose, Only But A Single Petal Was Frowned Upon And The Pride Of Which Was Known For Many Years Was Destroyed. Soon, The Rejection Inside This Delicate Rose Created A Deep Void. But When Mother Earth Grew Weak, The Mother Of Life Which The Roses Was To Seek Was No Where To Be Found. And The Once Noisy Streets Was Replaced With The Lonely Sighs Of The Wind, And Happiness Was No Where To Be Found. But Little Did Her Ancestors Know, She Absorbed The Last Bit Of Hope And Stored It For Another Time. A Special Rose As Someone Like Her Is Nevertheless, Is The Twinkle Of Hope That Is Hard To Find.
