Analysis of I Am Learning
I am learning to be like the rose,
who is willing to be completely naked
in the light of the sun.
I am learning to be like the rose,
who reveals all of its beauty
and risks being cut from its home.
I am learning to be like the rose,
who releases its blissful scent
regardless of where it's taken.
I am learning to be like the rose,
who is willing to surrender
and release all of its petals.
I am learning to be like the rose
and trust the process of Life.
