The Beauty of a Rose
I was walking through the forest and through the bushes I detected
weeping .I followed the sound of the soft cry until I arrived at a woman sitting upon the snow .Her eyes were filled with tears and her heart heavy from life. I sat upon the cold snow with her and I offered her my shoulder and my ears.
“What is your name”, she asked”. I smiled at her and I said, “My name is Faith, my middle name is hope and my last name is compassion. I saw a faint smile move upon her face as I asked her “what is your name? “ “My name is flower child and “I had given up on hope, faith was thing
I was loosing site of and I have no much compassion to give. “
I asked her if I may see her a verse form and through the verse form I showed her self-worth .That it was much important for her to have self worth for once
she admired herself others would-be love her to. I showed her reality, that you can not save the earth if folk don’t or won’t listen. I spoke of how important it was to have a compassion for others.
I showed her praise, I praised her for staying strong once
she had given up on faith. I showed her patience as this was thing
not easy for any of us. Things take time I told her. Sometimes folk simply don’t want to accept what is in front of them. I told her to please hang on that someday they may discover respect. I then aforesaid to her this you see flower child this is hope
We sat and talked for a while
and I saw a smile move back through flower Childs eyes. I picked up a wild Rose that was egg laying there in the snow. I placed the rose it in her hand. It wasn't everyday you had roses in winter. This is friendly relationship the most important of all things in our life. It is truly as rare as this rose in the snow. Once
you obtain it care for it and don't ever let it die.
Then I smiled, I bimanual her a piece of paper with my number on it and I walked away. She called me the next day and I detected
join in her soft voice. She told me that she had thought of me and I truly lived up to my name. I think she found her faith, her hope and her compassion. She aforesaid she found it in me but I think she had it in her all along. But what she did not have was the friendly relationship of a Rose or an earth angel to help manual her on
We all need person in life to say I believe in you. Friendly relationship is as rare as a rose in the snow. Once
you obtain it care for it don't let it ever die. Life is too short not to care for those who show us compassion. Don’t let silly things stand in our way. For friendly relationship is the beauty of a rose.
