Welcome to Resilient Woman Friday! In this poem, the speaker describes her experience buying a rose from a woman in need and placing it in a vase on her dresser. She then felt inspired to add tulips to the arrangement, but in doing so, the roses eventually withered away. The speaker questions whether she was too focused on helping others and neglecting her own needs. The poem is a commentary on the dangers of giving too much to others at the expense of one's own well-being. It serves as a reminder for women to take care of themselves and to be mindful of the balance between giving and receiving. Tune in to learn more!
