Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Rose of the Book
From this page of the ancient book,
This delicate pink rose has traveled
The seven seas, ancient empires have seased
To exist, while its beauty, color, and break
Grow into the roots of the nook in the book
As it cascades its freshness, fragility,
Strength, and independence in lacy capacity
Of petals that rise towards the sun to look
On humanity’s history book
Guarding its secrets, fragile, violent,
Yet, it rebels and grows still resplendent
In a lackluster world filled with a crook
Intent that borders on sacrilege against the book
Of God, that brooks no uncertainty
In knowing that the perpetrators will simply
Be punished for their irreverent belief in a look
Of masked piety that reveals its artifice
When faced by the innocence of the blooming rose.
