________________________________________________________________________

Real love – like a rose - is perennial. Tolerant is the rose and able to withstand frosty days. When a chill is in the air, two partners can talk things through. Real love – like a rose - does not give up and die. It survives year after year after year. Pruning, though, is required. With time -two in a committed relationship can improve communication and strengthen the foundation of their ties. Rooted in rich soil, faces to the sun, they thrive. Real love – like a rose - is perennial.

"Rooted in rich soil, faces to the sun, they thrive. Real love – like a rose - is perennial." -- Very true. Blessed reminder. From the dust of petals true roses return fresh...despite their cute laurels having some thorns.
