Luther Burbank: “Flowers always make people better,happier, and more helpful: they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.”
I like this quote because it states something I have come to believe but in a different way. I believe that God created flowers solely for the purpose of making us smile, feel warm,and know that we are loved. They represent God’s kisses to me.

Finally sunshine!
I step out into the cold and see
a rose withstood the frost!

If the rose
Knew only its thorns
Would it still be sweet?

Rose – more pretty and more sweet
Following the storm

So long I feared thorns
Sadly to then miss the rose
Nestled in their midst

My efforts felt huge
yet my ability
like my strength
is so weak.
Imagine my surprise
when you chose me anyway!
Despite my flaws
through you
beautiful things grow!
