The Rose

In my garden

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

The rose doesn't know

that it's beautiful or finite

It just keeps blooming.

+++

No knowledge of past

or future, just the present

No regrets, worries.

+++

So I wish to learn

to live like the rose, and learn

to stay in the now.

““Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
