A Sunset in a Rose

A sunset in a rose:

The sun came up

It traveled west

Found its home in a rose.

The rose bud opened

After a long repose

One by one the petals blossomed-

The the sun set in the rose

A dozen roses have I

All heavenly scented

Had a tear in my eye

Made my heart glad

Made me sing

A sunset in a rose

Such a beautiful thing!

Daily Ed. Quotes

” A principle and a seed are very similar in their meanings. A seed, being a plant in embryo, contains the entire plant–the whole thing is there, albeit in a condensed form. After a seed is planted, given some time,water,sunlight, and care, a huge tree can be produced. Likewise,principles are first given in seed form to children,yet these principles contain the potential of giant trees of truth and application. God starts with a seed and produces a plant. Today most classes try to shove plants down children’s throats.” - Mark A. Beliles & Stephen K. McDowell
