#380 Can I be a rose ?

                                       Can I be a rose?

Whose petals are smooth and silky

Whose fragrance spreads everywhere

Whose luster mesmerizes every time

And everyone whosever observes it

Radiates vibrant colours all the time

Though the stems quite thorny

Yet it’s subtle and elegant in its own way

Stands so firm among all the thorns

Delivers much more enchanting effects

To the world surrounding it

Surrenders itself completely to the worship

Of the Almighty each and every day

Yes, I desire to be a rose

To be a harbinger of love and humanity

To experience all the divinity it possesses

To shower some positivity to the world,

Which comprises of trials and tribulations

I pledge to fulfill this

Yes, when I speak.

P.S: While browsing my folders, I found this poem which I had penned down long back for one competition and it was not posted in my blog.
