~The Petals of our lives~

The soft spring dew glistens on a fresh rose bud who will soon spread it's velvet petals and slowly continue to bless all those who are around, with it's wonderful beauty.   I think of that and how we just like a rose bud, over the years of our lives, slowly unfolding what our lives are to be.  We start small and still can be a blessing from the time we are just a bud, till when we slowly shed our petals.  But it is our decision wether we will be for those around us to blessed by , or will strive only to have that beauty for our own gain.
