That was a lovely poem Sharon!
I have often thought people  are like roses. If you  speak to  people with 
kind loving words, if you touch them gently, if you hug them, listen to 
them, encourage them,  you then become like the sun and rain helping them to 
grow in to what God meant them to be. But if you use harsh words, if you 
push and shove, use touch to hurt, if you criticize and make fun of their 
dreams and desires, it is like a rose that has been deprived of sun and 
rain. They shrivel up and die. People are like rose buds they sometimes 
close themselves up tightly  to keep from  being hurt again, but a little 
warmth, a little kindness, a litle taste of unconditional love and they 
begin to open gradually at first.
 I do so love roses.....can you tell?
