The  Rose

Uploaded: August 27, 2009

Description

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose.
(sung by Bette Midler)

I wish you a fabulous Thursday!

Living close to Ohio's snow belt makes it hard to remember that all will be right with the world again in the spring, but so far it's always come to pass if we just wait long enough. Beautiful red rose, Kim -- great lighting and colors! #7892734
