A Rose to Bloom

To my goddaughter:

Delicate bud that I know so well,
My duty was to watch you grow
Such a young and precious thing
It’s time to spread those wings
Time to hear you sing your song of life.

Unfold those petals
The ones which are shaping
Making you the beauty that you are.

Fragrant and slowly blossoming
Gaily dancing in a banter of breezes
Placing smiles on faces
And pleasing others who
Gaze upon such a wondrous site.

By no means perfect (for nothing ever is)
But in my eyes you’re really quite unique
And to those who might just fall in love with you

You will stun them with
The charms that you’ll
Soon learn are yours
As you reach your element
Grow into the fullest of your bloom.
