Roses are red..

I am a rose. I stand firm in my faith in God by my roots holding me down. My stem is my backbone; It is made up of my friends and family. My thorns represent the struggles that I have been through and help to fight off struggles that come at me. The petals of my flower represent the individual characteristics that come together to make me who I am. As you get to know me, I open up and bloom as a rose does. My determination, strength, and kindness are exemplified through the petals. My bright red colors show through my showing of love and affection for others. One day I hope to create a rose garden out of our world.
