The Resilience of Roses

Roses, oh roses
Delicate and fair
With petals soft as velvet
And scent beyond compare.

Their hues range from palest pink
To the richest ruby red.
A symbol of love and beauty
Since time immemorial they've been wed.

But there's more to these flowers
Than their charm and graceful form.
For hidden within their thorns
Is a treasure, a secret, a norm.

For roses are survivors
Strong and resilient too.
They weather every storm
And always come through.

So let us honor the rose
For all that it represents
Love, strength, and renewal
Eternal, ever-present.
