In this garden of rose,
I am a mere petal.
As each one nears the ground,
Your lessons grasp us,
Embracing our importance.

Your words gracefully flutter out,
Captivating valuable lessons to heart
How precious one is,
To be capable of gathering such knowledge.

Akin to archangels,
Who reach to our hearts
Diaphanous in tongue
Yet more than words could ever pierce

Drops like the rain
Abundant unto the tender grass
Prime a seedling
With manna-like expertise

Let us sit by the water’s edge
Give heed to the music of the waves
Noticing every creature in it
Understanding the importance of each one

He who created you
Had a reason to
Memorable moments to cherish
For time could fly and perish

Only a few moments of connection
Misty, undefined, and perhaps even doubtful
But you, my eyes, search beyond what is seen
You, who my soul resonates with

Lead my steps, I know you will
And pray I'll never deviate
For a few moments, your love so strong
Encases me in my resolutions
