You could tear a rose to pieces
For your own pleasure,
Missing through it all
The rose’s greatest treasure—

Not the flower in itself:
The wonder of the whole!
From heaven’s beauty
God fashioned the flower’s soul.

Seeing what it was meant to be—
The greatest of skills;
To find the rose’s soul
Will ease all of life's ills.

Nay, tear not the petal
from thy rose,
but lay it on a pillow,
reminiscent of dew, and youth,
recalling spring, and love,
lay it on your pillow,
and breathe a memory.

Thank you Sir, for the inspire.

(smiles) Why I've always loved roses is how beautifully designed they are, which nothing man-made can ever match! (big hugggsssssss) Knowing such this creation was crafted in God's hands is what makes roses truly special, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
