The Red Rose

Good things come in time, like a red rose blooming. It doesn't bloom all at once, but starts as a seed, goes to a seedling, then a green plant, a bud, petals emerge and then the rose begins, slowly, to bloom. If you expect a seedling to bloom instantaneously, or to bloom at all its nonsensical.

Time, patience, and care are what make things develop and last. And sometimes, even with these things, the rose may not emerge. And if it does emerge, and blooms in shade, the plant which holds it is destined to die and the rose along with it.

Despite this, the rose which can grow is beautiful, even if at times it pricks you with it's thorns. And it is this beauty, that captivates and draws people, making them, as well as I, hope.

Understand this, take a deep breath and then... see what happens.
