She had a tiny rose tattoo br just an inch or so in size. br After years of deliberation, br her courage finally materialized. br br She's the only person br who will even know it's there, br unless, of course, she wanted br them to see it and she shared. br br A tiny rose and nothing more br she chose to symbolize br a difficult and bumpy life br so please don't criticize. br br The branch behind, her long lifeline, br its thorns to show what's past. br The bud is for what's yet to come, br some peaceful hope at last. br br The tiny rose is colored br deep red to show her passion. br Its petals soft and gently bloomed, br red for love, a celebration. br br It's just a tiny rose tattoo br an inch or so in size. br A tiny rose, that's all it is, br her life to symbolize.br br C.J.
