Sometimes in order to create something good, you have to lose something special.

I once had a garden
Where nothing ever grew.
It never blossoms in the spring,
Nor during summer, winter, or fall.

I tried everything I could
But still nothing bloomed
Because it was a garden
Where nothing ever grew.

One day, I brought a rose
To lay upon the soil
But I held it wrong
And so I had to let it go.

The rose fell
With a drop of blood
They joined together
To nourish the land.

Next time I looked
Upon the garden where nothing grew
There stood upon the soil
A hundred roses in bloom!
