I read this and thought it fit with this flower.... even though this is an orchid and not a rose.  :)

What is more beautiful than a bride?.... 

Maybe it is the aura of whiteness that clings to her as dew clings to a rose.  Or perhaps it is the diamonds that glisten in her eyes.  Or maybe it's the blush of love that pinks her cheeks or the bouquet of promises she carries.

A bride.  A commitment robed in elegance.  "I'll be with you forever."  Tomorrow bringing hope today.  Promised purity faithfully delivered.

When you read that our heavenly home is similar to a bride, tell me, doesn't it make you want to go home?
