there is a rose
so soft and delicate
yet with great inner strength
tears flow upon petals
born of grief
sadness folded the petals inwards
wrapping tightly around the bud
trying to protect and heal
and as the tears drained inwards
it eased away the sadness
replenishing and nurturing
until the edges opened
just a little at a time
allowing light and love
to seep slowly inside
strength regained
shyly to blossom once more
the tiny bud spread
its silky petals wide
to bask in the sun
allowing the brilliance
of the bella rose
to astound us
with it resilient beauty
and mesmerizing power
Author notes
For Bella, your strength lies inside, just like the rose, it will blossom and shine its beauty once more sweetie.
