To contemplate a brand-new book,
To see the concept bake and cook,
When just a bud, not yet a rose,
Its beauty forms, takes shape, and grows.
It’s hard to know just how or when
The seed was planted deep within.
When people ask, “How do I start?”
I say “Express what’s in your heart.
“It means reach deep inside of you.
What’s there that’s meaningful and true,
Uniquely yours that shines like gold?
You’ll find your story to be told.”
The words will come. You’ll set them free.
Your rose will bloom for all to see.
