I was born cradled inside your palm within the perimeters of a safe haven brought to life by loving silty fingers Rose is what I heard you call me staying true to my appellative name I chose to bloom inside your heart Many butterflies and bumblebees sat on my flowerhead but only you were the apple of my eye, dear heart I was born to please you and only you enclosed and surrounded I thrived, like a rose, in a tangled mess of flowers.
