The Young Girl and the Rose

The lone rose never asked for much and never once complained… She was happy when the sunlight reached her and when her petals filled with rain. She grew outside the young girls window and always found a way to stand a little straighter when the young girl smiled her way. Not once did the young girl forget her… for every day she chose to open her window, smile, wave and say, “Good Morning!” to her rose. And they were happy with their relationship… It made the girl and her rose glow… until the change of seasons and the fall winds began to blow.. Soon it would be winter When her single rose would die and so the young girl and the rose prepared to say goodbye. “What can I do for you?” The young girl asked “since you’ve given so much to me? The rose had but one request “Can you take me to the sea?” “I’ve seen the sun, the moon the stars I’ve seen the birds the trees and more… but I would love once before I’m gone if I could see the shore.” And so they traveled to the shore to where the ocean meets the sky… and here they sat and watched the waves and it was here they said goodbye.
