Wild Rose
December 18, 2011
A Rose
One single rose
Waiting for someone to see its beauty
Waiting for someone to see past all the thorns and imperfections
But no one does
No one can look past its thorns or imperfections
So the rose wilts alone
Dies in the cold
But does not die forever
For it will return
just not now

I like the fact that it is a big metaphor. I like the simplicity of it too. Good job.
