Roses for Me

I give myself grace.
I give myself humility.
I give myself love.
I give myself forgiveness.
I give myself space.
I give myself all the time in the world.
I give myself beauty.
I give myself insight.
I give myself wisdom.
I give myself laughter.
Yet, it seems
I already have them.
Funny, I'd forgotten.

I give myself roses.
I deserve them.
They are white, and the edges
of the petals seem
dipped in red.
