A Rose

A rose is held as a thing of beauty.
It’s known as a symbol of love throughout the world.
It’s beauty has transcend centuries of time.
And, until now, it was one of life’s few splendors.
That is until you came into my life.

A rose could wilt in your shadow,
for your elegance would encompass all the beauty allowed.
But your shadow doesn’t wilt the rose,
for even your shadow holds gleams of life and love.
The rose would grow in admiration to your beauty;
it would be a delight for the Rose to live in your shadow.

I believe that your beauty can and will transcend time,
just as the rose has.
As you grow, your beauty will supersede you life;
it will grow to encompass you more than it has already.
You will always be beautiful, and I know you will see this.

My dream for you is to recognize this beauty for yourself,
so that you can share it with others, and show them the way to 
the true beauty that you have.

You and the Rose belong together,
for in the moments you hold a rose,
all life ceases to exist,
for this is one moment in time when beauty beholds beauty.
