The Blossoming Rose

The Rose grows in a quiet place now where none ever would before, in a secret garden next to a hidden well all kept deep inside my heart. Many times when I would think of you, a seed would get planted in my garden, but, the water from the well was not enough to germinate the seed, so the rose couldn't grow. After years and years of thoughts and thinking about you, you came back into my life and the well that was drying up found itself a new source of water, a meandering brook moved and shaped by heavenly forces now helped to fill up and feed the well. As my daily time with you increased, more seeds were planted with one, so far, taking root. Combining waters from the brook and the well plus lots of sunlight, the Rose is growing and starting to blossom. It’s living on my love (the hidden well), your love (the meandering brook), and God’s love (the Son’s Light). I believe now this Rose will continue to thrive in the secret garden of my heart as my love for you will always be, so will the Rose never die.
