What the Roses Said to Me
by Lahab Assef Al-Jundi

Don't forget me!
Always remember
my beauty is for your eyes.
My fragrance is for your spirit.
My unfolding 
is my invitation to you
to yield to your own.

When your skies seem darkest,
when your heart is gripped by pain,
when uncertainty and fear
creep into your days,
come back to me.
Come into me.
Camp between my scented sheets.
Let me show you
a passageway back
to love.

You can find this poem in The Wonder of Small Things: Poems of Peace & Renewal.
