Rose

Water, sun, light
All that a seed needs
To grow right.

Flower or fruit
It brings with it
The promise of life.

But life, comes
With its own promise
Of death and ruin.

And yet laws of nature
Dictate through death,
Another must rise.

Be that rose
Dear human
And arise.

Fight, fight, fight
So you may give
Life a second chance.

    Beautiful! A rose plant in my balcony braves the intense heat, a new bud is blooming, despite withered brown leaves. Life triumphs.
