Look Within





There is so much beauty in...
This wonderous, blue rose
If only we could capture it
Within our very souls

If we could take its beauty
And apply the glow within
Search a little deeper
In the soul beneath our skin

Take what it does stand for
And shed its love abroad
Don't hide the glow within you
But share the love of God

You know you can't touch beauty
Without it rubbing off on you
And spreading it to others
In the kindness that you do

There lies within each one of us
The beauty like this rose
When it's used in touching others
Then its beauty overflows

Rebecca,
  This is a beautifully, well flowing poem,about a beautiful flower, proceeding from an obvious gracious heart filled with it's own beauty-YOURS!
Thank you for sharing this one with us.

Ellie thank you! This rose came across my email a long time ago, and I was just entranced by it. I thought to write something on it, and this is what came out.
It inspired me by the beauty
