The body is like the seed of a rose.


The body is like the seed of a rose.

The seed must perish for the rose to bloom.

Where does the life force go, afterwards?

It replenishes like the seed…


The body is like the seed of a rose.

The seed must perish for the rose bloom,
The rose then grows and will form,
And as it will bask in the sun…
It's something people will always adorn…

And as the rose blooms forth,
We look on in awe and smile,
For the rose came from a little seed,
And grew tall, though it took a while!

The rose basks in the sunshine,
And hides away in the rain,
Protecting itself as only it can,
Until the sun comes out again!

The rose will sway in the breeze,
And so will stand the test of time,
Hide from the harsh weather protected,
And so will bloom every day it will shine.

Then eventually the life-force will go,
And the rose will die and fade away…
But then the rose reverts to the seed,
And again it will bloom one day!

We as people bask in the glow,
Of the love and caring in our life,
And hide away, lock us away,
Burying the fear and strife!

We should learn from the rose,
About how to bend in the breeze and sway!
But also to protect itself when needed,
To bloom again one bright shining day!

The body is like the seed of a rose,
And the rose like the body true,
For person and the rose have a life-force,
Yes, each and every one of us do!

And we grow and thrive and excel,
And yes, we both come from the earth,
And return to the earth whence we came,
And therein returns the seed of worth…
