A poem from the heart

How To Be

A petal here,
A petal there,
To be or not-
is life not fair?

A beautiful rose,
full of life,
losing petals.
A life of strife.

The rose stands tall
throughout the storm,
though petals fall,
she's in rare form.

To be or not
is not the question.
HOW TO BE
is life's direction.
