Red face A Rose Made of Stars





Only you, Father, could create something as wonderful as this,

Far into your galaxies, something I must not miss,

For it proves to me, how impressive in what you've done, and chose,

Was to take millions of your stars, and make it into a rose.

From the creation of it all, bringing the color so red, and defined,

You can see the delicate petals, the whole creation of your design,

But Father, how this excites me,
for I wonder what is beyond, I cannot see,

But I know one day, when with you, I will be,

You will take your mighty hands, sweeping them across your universe,
and so many unknown places, afar,

To allow me the privilege, of seeing other roses,
you have made with your stars.

I found this inspirational website (not lds but still I LIKE IT) Roses are my favorite flower.

Sometimes we have to go through the thorns of life to enjoy the Rose.

The Rose of Sharon. Mystics who wrote the Song of Solomon use this and the Lily of the Field to symbolize Jesus Christ.

Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming.

catholics often depict the Virgin Mary with a rose either in hand or over HER heart as a divine symbol.....i once heard that it..the rose...was akin to the lotus that eastern religions use to depict Godhead

I agree that the rose is a varied and beautiful flower. I am a yellow rose.
