To: "'Jacque Chadall '" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a poem from the depths of truth . . . A Promised Rose Garden An oft-heard song to a disgruntled mate begins with the lyrics, "I beg your pardon." The crooner then continues with a stern reminder, "I never promised you a rose garden." Yet marriages are indeed much like rose gardens where midst many thorns each little flower grows; where dreams in life, like tiny rose buds can develop and blossom like a full-grown rose. While life has its pitfalls, its knocks and bruises, do not rose gardens have piercing thorns too? And are not its thorns even much more numerous than beautiful roses that hide them from view? Indeed "rose gardens" can truly be promised, but never quite free from thorny trials and woes, leaving each one to choose -- to grumble about thorns, or to find life's pleasure in the beautiful rose. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the message put: unsubscribe kidzwrite Or if you need other majordomo commands, write to the same address and in the message put: help
