Gilded Rose

The blossom opens.
A perfectly shaped red rose,
Gilded by the dew.

I hope you have a wonderful day. It looks like the day will be bright and sunny weather wise here. I'm feeling a lot better lately. I needed a real healing from the Lord to conquer this weird cold or flu I had. It hung on for a month and a half and I'm still coughing and sneezing but I'm claiming a healing in The Holy Name of Jesus against it. He took my stripes and by His Stripes I am Healed in His Name. Have a great day my friend. JB
