Poem
A seed sprouted at the foot of the Cross, and was watered by the Blood of Jesus. Thorns had fallen from the brow of Christ and attached themselves to the branches. The petals opened to look upon the Son of Grace. A red rose the color of His blood stained face. The thorns had sharpened to a point to prick the feet of Jesus, but, didn't prevail. Jesus had the nail. A rose was born near a thorn, just like you and me. Both will live eternally. The rose will always bloom, the thorn forever doomed. The rose is a flower that one associates with love. The beautiful delicate petals wrap around each other as if to protect themselves from the thorns on the branches.The rose have a meaning of their own. On special occasions, to say," I love you so much," you will see the rose. They are the finishing touch. Each petal sends out a fragrance that draws you near. Thorns are just the opposite. Flesh that gets in a thorn's path, feels thorn's wrath. The rose, the thorn, so close, yet the petal is protected, like our soul, a boundary has been set from the one who paid our debt. In the spiritual realm there is also the Rose and the thorn. The Rose of Sharon, Jesus Christ, the living God, who speaks, "I love you," to all the world. The thorn, the destroyer, has hatred unfurled. The Rose will always be the universal flower of love. Jesus Christ is Love, sent from above.
