| The White Rose A tiny seed falls from the sky, gliding smoothly through the clouds. Finally, she lands on the peek of the highest mountain. The landing was rough since the whole land was covered with ice. She stays there, motionless for a moment. The sun, seeing this, sends bright and warm rays over the her. Suddenly, the seed blooms into a beautiful white rose and looking at the land she smiles. The sun keeps her warm during the day by hugging her with his rays. At the end of the day, it is time for the sun to rest. He promises her that he will return everyday to keep her warm and says goodbye. Night falls, bringing a snow storm. It has no mercy on the beautiful rose. All night she shivers and she can barely breathe due to the harsh temperatures. Finally, the daylight returns. The sun searches for the rose and finds her buried under the snow. He sends again rays of light and warmth her. The snow that covers the rose starts to melt. But the rose is already dying. She looks up at the sun and thanks him for his kindness. The sun starts to cry, feeling hopeless. The rose looks up to him with a smile and says... "Why do you cry? I had a good life. I was given a home to live in that looked as white as the Heaven above. I got to feel the breeze play with my petals and I was given a wonderful friend. I felt your love for me in the warmth of your rays. You lit my world my dear friend. " Then she closed her eyes... and she was gone. In my story you will find miracles, blessings, gratitude, friendship and love. My little white rose never complained but was always thankful for what she was given. How I wish I was more like my white rose... maybe I can be :) Written by Lori Novo |
