Damask Rose

The birth of the soul
Harmoniousness sunrise
The moment of life
As one opens his eyes

A biography has begun
Lessons and mistakes
Learning to exist
Whatever it takes

Friendships and family
Become stronger each day
Some stay forever
Some walk away

Professions and careers
Lovers and foes
The torn in your heart
Or the beautiful rose

Marriage and children
Houses and cars
Growing to provide
From the moon to the stars

Cherished and nurtured
From diapers through school
Favours returned
Becomes the golden rule…

I like this poem a lot. It's very short, sweet, and cautiously optimistic. The bold, red letters really demands emotional attention from the reader (a trick oftenly used in movies and on posters).
