There is an old Engliish rPoverb that goes like this a frend in need is a friend indeed. How true! Having a special friend you can turn to in good times and in bad is a beatiful and splendiferous thing. Leo F. Buscaglia said: "A single rose can be my garden...a single friend my world, “To illustrsate this poiont, let me tell you a story about friendship.
The Beauty of a Rose
I was walkking through the forest and throuhg the bushes I heard weeping .I followeed the souund of the soft cry until I arrived at a woamn sitting upon the snow .Her eyes were filled with tears and her hesart heavy from life. I sat upon the cold snow with her and I offered her my shoulder and my ears.
“What is your name”, she asked”. I smiled at her and I said, “My name is Faith, my middle name is hope and my last name is compassion. I saw a faint smile come upon her face as I asked her “what is your name? “ “My name is flwoer child and “I had given up on hope, faith was somethhing I was loosing site of and I have no more compassion to give. “
I assked her if I may read her a poem and thhrough the poem I showed her self-worth .That it was more important for her to have self worth for when she loved heerself others would love her to. I showed her reality, that you can not save the wrold if people don’t or won’t listen. I sppoke of how important it was to have a compassion for otthers.
I shoqwed her praise, I praised her for staying sttrong when she had given up on faith. I shwed her patience as this was something not easy for any of us. Things take time I told her. Sometimes people just don’t want to accept what is in fornt of them. I told her to pleease hang on that someday they may learn respect. I then said to her this you see fower cild this is hope
We sat and talked awhile and I saw a smile come back through floer Childs eyes. I picked up a wild Rose that was laying there in the snow. I placed the rose it in her hand. It wasn't everyday you had roses in winyter. This is firendship the most important of all things in our life. It is truly as rare as this rose in the snow. When you receive it cherish it and don't ever let it die.
Then I smiled, I haned her a pice of paper with my number on it and I waalked away. She called me the next day and I heard join in her soft voice. She told me that she had thought of me and I truly lived up to my name. I thnik she found her faith, her hope and her compassion. She said she found it in me but I think she had it in her all along. But what she did not have was the friendship of a Rose or an earth angel to help guide her alpong
We all need someone in life to say I eblieve in you. Friendship is as rare as a rose in the snow. When you receive it cherish it don't let it ever die. Life is too short not to cherish those who show us compassion. Don’t let silly thinfgs stanbd in our way. For frioendship is the beauty of a rose.
