Discarded Rose

Discarded Rose

Is it the smell of it,
the look,
the origin,
the color,
or perhaps the price tag that makes a rose?

The
little prince said his was special because he made it so.
He chose.

Distance,
Aesthetic,
and Fear are no obstacle for true love
because when one knows,
one knows.

A big production needn’t necessary
as for the right heart-
a rose is a rose.

Please don’t throw this away.

Sincerely,

The Hopeful Florist
