There are some florists in and around
who sometimes have a promotion
They give dozens of roses away
free with an important condition

Eleven of the roses in the dozen
must happily be given away
Then one of the roses of the twelve
with the giver is allowed to stay

I thought of how if we each
would give others roses every day
Then we all would feel much better
that we gave a gift away

It would need not be an actual rose
a kind word or deed would do as well
Just think of how many people would be blessed
if a word of love to them we would tell

If we would do this wherever we were to go
a lot of happy people we would make
If just a little time we took to be friendly
every day each one of us would take

Ethel:

you have no idea how this spoke to me this morning for two reasons:

1.  my one rose
2.  this reminded me of my girlfriends wedding.  They passed a single rose to every woman who attended the church.  I thought that was the single most beautiful act of appreciation I have ever seen

As is this, your writing, beauty

Hi, I know just what you mean. Each time you give one away might just change how that person feels about themselves. If someone would do something like that they would feel so special, and it just might turn them around to seek for their own good. Thanks so much for sharing this. It gave me a chance to speak what I feel about this. Very sweet you are. I wish I knew how you add graphics to your words. Beautiful as always!

YES! That is so true, doing the smallest things for people can turn a bad day to a good one. With me, making me a cup of tea does the trick. Or someone saying I love you.

Thanks for being the thoughtful woman you always are.

so, I love ya Ethel Mae!

Instant karma's gonna get you.

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, every single day you've been with us at Passions, you have always made me feel happy about myself and so many others here, and I sure hope I have too for you as you truly are a wonderful friend that deserves to be happy! (kiss on cheek) You are a true melody maker, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is beautiful and so true.In the most simplest of things can we find the greatest joy.I send you my spirit and my wings with which to fly.And my heart and smile in hopes it will help you when you're down
