To See A Rose Poem by Ana Z. M.

To see a rose,
first you have to look at its thorns,
so that you can't feel happinness,
if you haven't experienced sadness.

To see a rose,
you have to take her carefully,
you have to love her beauty,
and be aware of her danger.

To see a rose,
you have to be humble,
not envy her beauty,
nor destroy her perfecion.

To see a rose,
you have to be realistic,
to know there's no such beautiful thing in the world,
as the delicate perfection and beauty of a rose.
