'The Rose Within'


A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

How can I remember to forget you???

Isn't it beautiful... How you become dependat on someone so fast.. But it really has been slow in your mind...How you can fall in love.. .ANd miss not talking to that person... Even if you just talked to them... You want to talk more... How you worry about if that person is sad or mad or happy... And when you have horrible fights... No matter how many tears you cry.. That person can make them all go away in the flash of a smile... How you yearn to hold that person in your arms... But you doubt you ever will... How many trials you wil go through for love... No matter how many hateful things are said, tears cried ad not matter how many cuts some from somthing... A phone call ca make it all better.. How you are so scared.. That the person will leave you.. Because he found someone prettier than you are... Funnier than you are and lot less emotional thatn you are.. how you dream about the person for days that have foine by and many to come... How you can seem to forgive them for whatever they do... As lond as they make the sadness go away.. How much you have in common.. But yet you are so different... How you can help them get through anything... And the same for them... How they are yours and your theirs... Isn't it just beautiful... The way you say I love you and I always will... How you look forward to call... And you worry if they forget about you.
