Roses

Dear little children

It’s a scary world

Filled with monsters in suits

And demons that look like you and I

But do not fear little ones

For not all is evil

The rain that takes away recess, washes away the destruction

That others cause

A simple kiss from you to your mother

Gives her more happiness than all the money in the world

Life is not all war and pain

It can be sweet like rain

Or as warm as the sun on a rose

Life is beautiful

You can find it in a smile

Or the kind deeds that a stranger might bring

As he holds open the door for a mother with her child’s stroller

The world is beautiful

So do not get too caught up

In all the trials of everyday life

Take your time

Life will always flow

But if you do not stop to smell the roses

Then life will pass you by
