THE QUEEN OF THE FLOWER KINGDOM.
The Rose
O Queen of the Flower Kingdom!
How breathe taking you are!
I stand in awe of your beauty!
Your color so deep and full, it attract and captive my eyes. All my pressures melts away
Your fragrance enters my being and comfort my soul and spirit
You are famous and powerful yet gentle and fragile
Women of the world love to call their names after you
You are sweet and friendly but
You live amongst the thorns
I reached out my hand to touch you
But ouch! Am hurt ! My hand bleeds
I draw back
Maybe you are dressed beautifully for your king
I watched with envy as the bee fly in and calmly drink your nectar without hard work
But he did the good work so your legacy and identity may continue
I watched sadly as the wind blew your beautiful petals away
And finally you are no more
But you gave yourself to your world:
Your color brighten and beautify the world and made it a friendly and happy place
Your fragrance brought healing to my being
Your nectar satisfied the hungry stomach of the bee
You have lived your life and served your purpose.
