I wrote this in 2004.. man it sure signifies something different now in my life!
THE ROSE It seems atop a basket in my room That one white rose He gave me awhile back There are no thorns within Only other red petals Signifying his love for me They came to me So unexpectedly Those roses that day Bringing so much happiness to me For no one has sent me a rose before Let alone a dozen So many questions were asked What does the white one Stand for? Oh we guessed and we guessed So much our heads were spinning I know now The one white stood for I am the one Standing here All alone Waiting for you to come to me Take these roses As a sign from me Follow me I will lead you to where we are to be I have held on to that rose And the others Just as I will Always hold on to your love I will never let it go I will never throw it or them or you away You have given so much to me! I love you! 12/19/04 Faithwoman |

Thanks
When I look at my writings from the past, I wrote them in regards to a broken relatioship, but when I read them now, they all seem to have a spiritual tone.. and funny part is .. back then is when I just started seeking God.. Faithwoman (Robin) ![]() |

I don't think I understand this poem as much as you guys do just yet.
I wrote this in my blog: "I've come to realize that every piece of advice and every bit of knowledge that you take in, including this you currently read, can be understood on an infinite amount of levels or degrees. Thereafter, I came to realize that God, filling you with the Holy Spirit, and giving you knowledge, is the way to climb those levels of understanding. This sheds new light on how God is infinite. He somehow, against our own comprehensible worldly logic, is on all of those "infinite levels". Only God is unresrtricted by the logic we use or at least, the logic we can comprehend. In these bodies, as men, we can climb to higher degrees of understanding, that is the journey, but only when God reigns and we become ONE with him, will we also have the ability to be infinite." -Mark God has given you wisdom to climb levels of understanding which brought you to a new degree of understanding of your own poem. Everything we do and say can be understood SO much more than we now understand it. So then who are we to decide how limited we are?
