A Rose

Delicately the petals unfold,
Days go by, and the flower blooms.
She starts out as a little button-
But ends up as a queen.
Among the forest,
she lies there bringing beauty
and enriched aromas everywhere.

Every morning,
the flower matures,
Little by little, she becomes...
Droplets of dew make her gracious.
Flower...which flower?

Finally, the little princess,
Is a star...
A queen...
More importantly,
she's a rose.

This wait was long,
But necessary for her development.
She grew from something so small,
to something so exquisite...
She became...
a rose.
