The Rose Cannot Get More Sweet

image

She is the wild rose–each petal blooms outward to reveal the layers of self she nurtures within her honey core. The sun caresses her presence, for she is essential to the process of life. If she has thorns, the world made her this way–they add to the spirit of this blossom–it cannot be reached with a careless hand. She withstands the wind and the warmth and sometimes she braves the mountaintop and sometimes she sways in the meadows…
The rose cannot get more sweet— there are some blooms worth tending for the fragrance.
