Ode To a Desert Rose

Ode to a Desert Rose Hiding in her desert place There lives a desert rose Not much water little rain Yet on and on she goes... Day to day she shows her face To those who can not see All her beauty hides the pain And tears that set her free... Still there's One who shed His grace Upon this desert rose Always with her shall remain Because her heart He knows. by~deborah burch© posted 3/29/2012

What a beautiful, simply beautiful write you have written Deborah! I liked the line, "All her beauty hides the pain" yes that superficial beauty that hides that deep scarring pain!
