She walked by on the beach one day at the end of one sweet summer
and found a golden rose tucked safely between the shore and the rocks
She was a messenger of God and so she listened deeply when He said
" its all about fair trade my child, its all about fair trade"
She tucked it in her pocket and was about to go back home
when suddenly she heard the sound of a seagull's cry.
There upon the beach a loner sat, with a despondent, brokenhearted sigh
She handed her the golden rose without a word, then passed her by
Five silver Angels watched, then fanned the mounting tide
and turned the shore to shreds of light they raised her off the floor
" its all about fair trade" she heard them say
as she found another rose in the sand, and this one, was a lovely
shade of rose*
She tucked it behind her ear then gave Him thanks for one more year
"No regrets my Lord, no second thoughts, "
At her age you see, she had finally understood the art of letting go.
So taking one last look behind she just smiled, then moved along.
A very sweet story you have told. So nice of everyone would live like that. Unfortunately, they don't. So many that have, take it with them to their foundations and dynasties.
I couldn't help but think of the advertisement I saw for the next Bachelor. It's a show of extravagant unreality that I haven't watched for a very long time. But what caught my eye was a gold rose, probably gilded and similar to your picture. Apparently to attract more viewers for a reality show that's gone basically sour.
The Gold Rose - friendship, joy, and new beginnings. Yes, effectively symbolic. "Fair Trade' however, is in the eye of the beholder. What may seem fair to one country, (or person) may be a disaster for another. Loving and sacrificing for others however is universal. Enjoyed. Thanx 4 sharing. r
