IF I WERE A ROSE

IF I WERE A ROSE

A rose is known to be one of the most beautiful of flowers created by God. It has the dual luck to being beautiful and attractive and also has a? Fragrance in it, which it spreads wherever it may exist.


If I were a rose, I am sure I would be very proud of very existence knowing that I have beauty and fragrance! And that, I am among the most loved ones of the species of flowers. If I were a rose, I would be very happy and proud but, then, I would be bereft of seeing myself.

Of course the people coming to admire me and my other colleague would fill my ears with all the praise for me and, I would surely believe it all – they would serve me as mirrors of my beauty.

When, I’d hear all around me applauses of me, I would jump with pleasure though, no one would see me in my moments of happiness this I know because, man does not have the fine vision of seeing through flowers for their intense feelings.

I would stand aloof from all other flowers in a garden- and when people would see me and the other flowers, I dare say I would be the jealous one for, I would wonder why the onlookers were sparing even a glimpse for other flowers when I in all my majesty stand in front of them?

Though this would be a very selfish thought and attitude but, after all it is natural. How can any one resist the feeling of one up when one is convinced that he/she is one up? Don’t you agree? When I know that I am the best looking flower in the garden, how should I not be jealous of people seeing others in my presence?

However, these days of my glory and pride would be short lived and not last forever. I know that, all life has to die.
