A ROSE WAITING TO BLOSSOM

Sometimes you feel the happiness, sometimes the emptiness
Complimentary, yet so contradictory, truly you confess
But it is obvious that overall you have a big heart,
And no matter what, nothing will ever change that part,

Each day you walk through the sun and through the rain,
Sometimes through good times, sometimes through the pain
But even in times of darkness you shall still find your way
You shelter that strength that makes you advance each day

You go places beyond our imagination, fruit of your creation
And just like a magnet you are a source of attraction
You are a mixture of fantasy and reality, smiles and tears
Sometimes you feel so sure and yet you succumb to your fears

Autumn, winter, spring, summer, you are a full season
You are so free but yet you lock yourself in this prison,
You are just a rose waiting for the right time to blossom
Opening that day our eyes to something even more awesome.
