Her Secret

by CJ Heck, Leo - Not entered

She has a tiny rose tattoo
Just an inch or so in size.
(After years of deliberation
Courage finally materialized).

She would be the only person
Who would even know it's there;
Unless, of course, she wanted
Them to see it, and she shared.

A tiny rose and nothing more
She chose to symbolize
A not so easy, bumpy life
So please, don't criticize.

The branch behind, her long lifeline
Its thorns to show what's past.
The bud is for what's yet to come
A joyful hope, at last.

The tiny rose is colored
Deep red to show her passion.
Its petals soft and gently bloomed
Red for love, a celebration.

She has a tiny rose tattoo
Just an inch or so in size.
A tiny rose, that's all it is
Her life to symbolize.

Reason for writing:

    My tiny rose tattoo.
