Being Realistic

A brilliant peace settled within, a calmness recognized as that of God's. A lovely lady, refined, gentle, a beautiful smile, sits in an atmosphere of quiet resignation, awaiting the inevitable outcome of life with little sorrow. Realistic, ready to meet the day, a whispering hope and prayer held closely to her heart. Open, honest, all-encompassing faith spread throughout her family, yet touching others who walk into her life right now. A flowering of her life's roses, ending in a bouquet, placed before the altar in readiness of God's grace.
