The Rose...............

Always reminds me of the hauntingly beautiful Bette Middler Song. This exquisite rose was a sweet surprise..............I cannot describe its devine smell, but it is very fragrant and fills my bedroom with a really decadent heady smell. Thanks friends for the heartwarming gift.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
Bette Middler.

(dear fellow blippers, sorry for my absence! I am catching up as fast as I can but you should know it is time consuming. It is of course winter here and I go into hibernation......BUT I am also quite busy with work etc and pinky-promise I'll do my best to be on top of the blip daily. Have also been asked to do a similar story about Hope - its on its way.........)
