AS A ROSE BLOOMS INTO BEAUTY

It was first a seed sowed in the ground, watered...given care--
and who would know looking at the mound of dirt,that a flower waited there.

Given rain as a drink and sunshine as its food
it daily pushed and strived, even when none could see how it grew...

then one day, a bud appeared, the first evidence--
that something was in creation, it was no coincidence...

It'd strived hard to get to this place,tho many had not seen
the days when it was not so easy, or knew where it'd been....

As the flower opened... revealing it's beauty for all to see...
but there were some who'd always known... just how lovely it would be (for Kat,by Suzanne 10-11-02)

Kat...this is just off the top of my head~ hope you like it... the rose analogy is you... how you started, your struggles... and then there are those, that have always seen your beauty... who are behind you 100% and will be there the rest of the "blooming"... huge hugs and lotsa love~ Suzanne~
