A rose is one of the most beautiful flowers. I know about other flowers. I look at other flowers and say "how beautiful." No matter what my mind and heart come back to the rose with its many petals. The layers of colors are multifaceted. Everything about the rose is overly done. Even the scent is strong. I never have to sniff again to make sure I've caught the smell. The scent is extraordinary. Even the thorns are there full force. I've always wondered why such painful stickers should be on something so beautiful. I think the stickers or thorns are there to keep people like me from picking roses.
My mother had a special friend. I will never forget this lady. She would bring my mother roses almost any time. She said the roses were to cheer my mother up while she was sick.In this lady's backyard there were a few beautiful rose bushes. It seemed like those roses stayed alive longer than any cut roses I've ever seen. I won't give the lady's name. I'll just say she was The Lady with the roses.
