As you travel through life
You meet and love people in different ways
Til that day the person you were destined to
Meet enters your life
The one person in all of time who is your soulmate
The person who makes you feel so right
The one who fills your heart with joy
Your body reacts to their touch as if by magic
Your soulmate is the person who touches your heart
And soul and stays there for all eternity and beyond
Even if this love were to leave
They would always be the only one you love
And need to make you whole and complete
The only one forever!

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully
Before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw a bud that would soon blossom. He also saw the thorns, and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant,burdened with so many sharp thorns?"
Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and before it was ready to bloom, it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul, there is a rose. The "God-like" qualities planted in us at birth, growing amidst the thorns of our faults.
Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking nothing good can possibly come from us.
We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some don't see the rose within themselves. It takes someone else to show it to them.
One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within others.
This is the truest, most innocent, and gracious characteristic of love - to know another person,including their faults, recognize the nobility in their soul,and yet still help another to realize they can overcome their faults.
If we show them the rose, they will conquer the thorns.Only then will they blossom, and most likely,blooming thirty, sixty, a hundred-fold, as it is given to them.
Our duty in this world is to help others, by showing them their roses and not their thorns. It is then that we achieve the love we should feel for each other. Only then can we bloom in our own garden.
