from the eyes of the Heavens, Aphrodite saw you bloom. she watched your beauty grow, rather than pruning the jealousy of her own heart. You felt her gaze upon you, and became bashful and ashamed. But your elegance is not your definition. Zeus, the Father of Olympus, took one glance at you and knew that your loveliness was not your significance. He saw your purpose, and turned the focus from your blushing petals, to your roots that hold the ability to heal. from your very core, your beauty has come from your healing. Bask in your truth, my flower.
