wilfredo Posted April 24, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a rose bush just outside my door that keeps on "keeping on" giving the world beautiful yellow Roses to look at, but they all eventually start down the road towards death, it's inevitable, but even there, there is beauty to be seen.
