The heart.....the rose.

I believe the heart is like a flower,
yes the heart is like the rose,
every petal is someone we love,
and love is how it grows,

In order for it to be beautiful,
in order for it to bloom,
we should feed it with laughter,
and not feed it with gloom,

Every petal holds a story,
of each and everyone,
of those who have touched us,
since our lives begun,

Everyone that we let in there,
everyone who touches our heart,
help the rose to grow,
of our lives they play a part,

In order to be happy,
in order to feel whole,
we need our friends and loved ones,
in our hearts they play a role,

So the next time you shut out your heart,
the next time your heart you close,
remember the beautiful flower is dying,
you are killing, not growing the rose.
