rose of life

Putting one foot in front of the other allows you to walk straight and travel the path, but halting those steps for a few moments allows one to stop and see where the path is leading them. Life is not about how far one can travel but by the moments that one stops to smell the roses. Would the world be different if everyone stopped to smell the roses in their life? It is the small moments that create the greatest impressions and plant more rose buds that will blossom with time to reveal their sweet nectar that flows by the river of life. One may travel a farther distance in life than many but when they come to the end of the road they will have nothing to show, they will not hold the rose of life.
