Lo, How a Rose E'Er Blooming
With every rose there are thorns: fear, pain, jealousy, anxiety, sadness, and grief
It takes time, love, and patience to grow a beautiful rose bush
But it's time well-spent in order to see the complexity and beauty hidden beneath and between each layer
It is in the depths of the layers that happiness, contentment, peace, love, and joy will be revealed to those who choose to open their eyes and see
While the rose may appear a little rough around the edges, look harder and discover the delicate design created by our Master
Layers slowly unravel and display the scars from pains of the past as the rose grows and develops
Water droplets fall on the petals creating a stream of nutrients for the flower to bloom
The free-flowing stream of water allows love to grow as fragrance fills the air
Thorns along the way remind you of the pain and loss you once endured so you can appreciate the beauty in the new blooming rose
In this bloom, there will be a new joy and an opportunity for mature love and purity to thrive creating a garden of beauty for all to see and share in
Scarring from pain and suffering is now faded and there is a joy and freedom to love and be loved that surpasses all understanding
The promise and hope of new beginnings
Stop to smell the roses and remember how beautiful you are inside and out!
