Stop to smell the roses, it simply is the best.
Stop to smell the roses, especially when they’re dead.
For a dead rose is a rose nonetheless, and everyone knows a dead rose is a rose that’s best.
A dead rose is the remainder from a life of beauty and admiration.
Unfortunately, a dead rose is not associated with any such sensations.
Nobody wants dead roses.
There is no point if they cease to be beautiful, everyone knows this
You ask, but why? Does anyone care to explain?
What makes them different but physical appearance?
Despite texture and hue are they not the same?
No, no they are not.
A dead rose is worth so much more.
For a dead rose contains a lesson to be learned.
A lesson specifically pertaining to you, a lesson to be discovered in the way you breathe, live, love and in everything that you do.
