A Man Once Said
A man once said "here is a beautiful flower that glimmers in the light of the first snow a flower who is surrounded by a dark forest , this is a flower that once was covered with blood a flower who is white and pure a flower who was sweet like honey a flower who's leaf was strong enough tho be stepped on . A flower that has beaten the snow who has lived past drought who has lived through being eaten by bugs . Their once was a man this man was lost he did not know where he was he was scared he was alone and he was sorrowful he complained on and on about how his feet hurt and how his life was so bad . Through all of this complaining the man noticed the small white flower , slightly confused he set down his things and walked to the flower as he approached the flower his mind was slowly set at peace and his pain taken away the man sat next to the flower and felt as if the flower would listen to anything he said so he told the flower all of his feelings when he was finished he felt foolish for talking to a flower so he got up to leave as he starts to walk away he thought to pick the flower and he did he carried the flower in jar of a little of drinking water . The man found his home once again and gave the flower to his wife as they slept he thought of everything he told the flower and how his pain was gone and how he no longer felt sorrowful , as the wife made breakfast for her husband she noticed the flower had roots she was sure that the flower did not have roots when her husband brought it to her but he just went on and planted it in her garden . She told her mom about the flower and her mom told her that it was a sign from God the wife did not believe her mother and yelled at her mother for even thinking something like that . Later on the man also went to his wife's mother but he was interested in God the woman was very pleased with the man and told him all she could remember about the Bible and she gave him her Bible he went home and secretly read his Bible and learned more about God because he knew his wife would not be happy . A few days passed and the wife's mother died the wife was angry she blamed God but the man new the woman said what she wanted to say he informed his wife about him and God , telling her of how much happier he is the wife was not pleased she left him she said she never wanted to see him again now and then the man would tell her something new about what he learned he joined a church and told his story of the little white flower . " " A man once said : God will win either way . And this man was true . "
