Yellow roses were my momma’s favorite flower. I have three roses that set by my chair and I look at them often. But I have looked several times but never realized the importance of the flower. At the beginning they were vibrant even though I changed the water daily they have begin to wilt. But deep within the flower is the nectar. As within our selves the outside maybe beautiful, but deep within ourselves is the nectar that our heart, our love, our compassion comes from. The petals may wilt and fall away but the nectar still remains. It is pure and plenty. I want my life to be that way. My body may wilt but my soul will be pure with love and compassion for others. As my illness worsens and my pain begins to grow daily my heart will remain the same. Look upon others as you would have them look at you, treat others as you would want to be treated. The nectar of your life is there look deep beyond the petals and you will find it there. Go with God and be blessed.
