A Rose in the Garden of My Life

Joshua Cintron

When I was young, I measured my worth by possessions, status and how much I earned. Those were my dreams but when she came into my life, those dreams faded away real fast. She didn’t change anything within me, I changed because I wanted to, for her.

When I was a young man,
I dreamt of many things:
success, popularity, money.
But,
those dreams pale in comparison to you, a beautiful red rose
in the garden of my life.
