How grows the rose?
Is it plucked when a bud
or allow to grow, age?
Is it staked and guided
or left to flounder on its’ own?
How grows the rose?
Does it bow with the wind
or stand stately and tall?
Is its’ color radiant
or ragged, blighted and pale?
The Master watches tearfully
but the gardener is long gone.
Who tends to the rose
keeps it nurtured and safe?
Who flicks aphids away?
If its’ grossly neglected,
never paid any mind,
how will grow the rose?
When two men hit the reset button and decide to go out looking for the good in the world, they not only find it but also a lot more.
