A rose is common,
picked frequently for an array of reasons.
If not careful,
its thorns will pierce through the skin of the holder --
only a strong individual can withstand its sting.
One can appreciate its beauty,
with its many sizes and colors,
diverse in many ways.
It prospers and prevails to bloom;
only if taken care of.
But, if neglected,
it ceases to thrive and falters,
crumbling beneath the most fragile hands.
Given to various people such as mothers, friends, and lovers,
the rose is always present,
always shared, always admired.
a rose is a delicate thing.
