Love begins within

A small unassuming rosebud

Starts to bloom

Without any cares or woes

She starts out fragile as she grows

A gentle breeze caresses her

And dances along,

She twirls between the wildflowers

A wreath haphazard in her hair

She runs alongside the stream

Strands flowing mid-air

Freedom, Innocence, Joy

She’s the essence of them all

The daughter of the worthiest King

She dances, laughs, nurtures and sings

She flies upon the trusted wings of compassion

Stopping only to give the elixir of life

To give of herself, that inherent thing

Placed by the maker of earth and heaven

Honest eyes through which truth is bared,

She takes in all details, alive in them.

Passion, Healing, Zest

That which inspires, is breath

Beauty in her prime, matured o’er time

Radiance shines from her soul through her eyes

Grace cloaks her integral soul

Every atom of her soaked in agape alone

Unconditional, Unrelenting, Unreserved, Unlimited, Unequivocal love.

Her deep roots are grounded in more than soil

She softens hearts, she strengthens resolve

Absorbs the fragility of others as her own

She protects stemmed vulnerability with fierce thorns

Justice, Defiance, Purging

Catharsis, she’s walking tall.

Though she may wilt over time

The essence of her, never shall die

The breeze gently takes her back again

Regal to the end, as her last petal descends.

So that even after she has faded away

Petals pressed and timelessly framed

The impact of her, personified light

Reflects the One, who gave her life.
