The Most Beautiful Of Roses


Friendship. What does it mean to me?
I can Compare it to the life of a rose.
From the instant a rose springs to life, it is full of so much potential,
Much like we are.
As the rose continue to grow it becomes more and more beautiful along the way,
Much like we do.
It dreams of coming to full blossom, to achieve its goals and show its splendor
For the whole world to see.
But all too often , the most beautiful of roses is taken from the garden before its bloom,
Never reaching its full potential,
Much like our friend, our brother Nathan Frank.
The rose is still beautiful and remains with us in a special way!
We save and cherish the glorious petals of the rose,
Much like we will save and cherish the memories of Nathan.
The times we shared through thick and thin,
All the while appreciating how he has touched us all.
So as we are saddened by the loss of so beautiful a rose,
We must continue to achieve our own glorious blossom.
But through the petals that Nathan has left us,
We must try to emulate the beauty that he brought to all of us.
We are lucky to have been in the same garden as you Nathan,
It won't be the same with out you!
