Roses
  Roses are lovely,
  and pretty and cool!
  Come see their beauty,
  don’t be a fool!
  They are special,
  in more ways than one.
  They’re filled with light,
  and are a lot of fun.
  But roses have faults,
  their thorns hurt when you get near.
  They’re sealed off like a vault,
  but maybe they’re just full of fear.
  You, like a rose, are special too.
  You’re beautiful and charming.
  You, like a rose, make others:
  happy, bright and filled with light.
  You’re filled with light,
  you’re filled with life
  and you’re very bright.
  I know you don’t see it,
  I know you don’t believe,
  but trust me when I say,
  you mean a lot to me.
  We are scared to get close to Roses,
  because we might get hurt.
  Both of us, you and me.
  Like a Rose you have protection,
  from the outside world.
  Like a Rose you are beautiful.
  You are perfect and beautiful like a Rose,
  I know you don’t see it.
  But trust me darling,
  you are beautiful within.

This piece isn't specifically about Roses. It's about someone close to me, someone who doesn't see the importance of themselves. I am not good at poetry, but I wanted to try to write something special for someone that really means a lot to me!
