The Rose and the mirror
The Rose and the mirror
Standing at the mirror, trying to see the perfect Rose I see, she looked hard at her reflection, to find the Rose that she is to me
She could only see her flaws, the tracks from the tears she'd wept, she couldn't see the girl I saw, or how into my heart she crept
She couldn't see her inner beauty, or understand why I would fall in love, she just saw the empty shell and not the Angel from above
She couldn't see her perfect petals, staring in the reflection of her face, no idea of her beauty, which made my poor heart race
I pray one day she's see her worth, I hope she finally knows, how wonderful she is to me, the girl I call the Rose
So each time you catch your reflection do one thing i plea, say these words I'm sending you, just do this thing for me
Look deep into the mirror, breath deep and count to Three then say BE STRONG AND BE BEAUTIFUL BUT MOST OF ALL BE ME

The rose series continues to blossom in the most gorgeous ways Ron! It is so easy for us to see and find all of the flaws. Many things can damage our self worth and make it hard to appreciate the beauty. This is such a beautiful expression of admiration of love, and a reminder to take a moment to see the beauty and appreciate what someone else see's when filled with doubt and insecurity.

I'm sorry I missed this one..it's a bursting forth of positive sentiment and belief in one's self. I adore it, so much, my lovely friend. I often have terrible thoughts about the real motives of others because of my own experiences that force my mind to second guess almost everyone and what their intentions really are. I have found that their are some that get off on using people or love to deeply manipulate, while others prey on the meek (like I try not to consider myself, and don't on most days) and so many more scenarios that permeate. It's THAT, those terrible musings that ping pong in my head and are also such a bitch to get rid off (or over) and that often feed into a battle of obliterated self worth as well..... it's nice to have really support and encouragement, that's for sure. Especially when it comes from such a bright light. I don't trust too many people (see above.. lol ) but I do trust your words... Ty for sharing, my friend. Sometimes it's nice and refreshing to see what's in front of you is actually 100% real and true.
Much love from across the pond....
