“Our Story does not define us but our actions will.”
Poem – Smell the Roses by Natasha
The roses are not worthy,
Of our Love,
Of our Praise,
Of our Grace,
If we allow them,
Their essence to be burnt,
Their beauty to be masked,
Their petals to be consumed,
Their thorns to be cut off,
Silenced,
The leaves to be crushed,
Their roots to be infested,
Crawling with their struggles.
It’s nearly Summer,
Smell the roses,
Look at the roses,
Nurture the roses,
Don’t let the heat,
Leave them wither and die,
Alone in self-isolation,
Smell the Roses …
"Our story does not define us but our actions will.” When faced with difficult choices in Life, some of our beliefs, self-sabotaging ideas we have about ourselves and others in our relationships will challenge us to take charge. Some will rise and take charge, whilst others will need a helping hand with The Power of Words Collection in english and spanish.
