My mom used to plant flowers in her small garden. She talks to them Every morning like it was listening. One of her favorite flowers there is her red roses. One time, while picking up some roses for our altar, I stood up on her side silently helping her. She said, "Mac, remember to be gentle while cutting them, they can be hurt as well as you."

I've stopped picking red roses and realized what my mom says.

Roses have Thorns🌹

Man can be strong as he lives. We can show how "masculine" we are and dependable. Those are like thorns that don't wither even the rose dies. But it can be cut and become harmless. Man tends to withdraw his strength when life challenges us. We cried as thorns of life started to penetrate deep into our hearts. Blood may drip but we will wipe it up because we are "men". We own problems worrying that we may pierce someone with our thorns. Research shows that men tend to suicide more than females.

Roses variety of hues

Not just red but roses can be white, pink, blue, or even orange. The rare it is the more it is valuable but the labeled"value" will always depend on who looks on it. We can see differently how a man is different from others. Maybe the way you cherish him as a friend or someone important to you. No man is the same as others. The most important is we can see how beautiful a rose can be and we take care of it.

Roses lives shortly

A picked rose can only last for a week. We can enjoy its beauty for a short period. We can glaze over the rich colors of this flower. Last blooms will always be the best sight of roses. A man's inner beauty is always hidden inside. Waiting for someone to pick up and serve its purpose. It is not always to be a girlfriend or boyfriend it can be a form of friendship and family. As long as he lives, he will show you the abundance of his love. You both may bloom forever.

We must engrave with our hearts and soul that a man can be roses too. Be gentle while holding them and they will give you the best version of themselves.
