Tempest Tossed Purple Rose – Amazing Pictures Flowers by Michael Taggart Photography

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
Send these,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
—————

I was loving the rolls on the petals of the rose.

It reminded of the waves on an ocean.

Bonus points if you know where the poem is from : )

Withering can be beautiful too! Many elderly people think that “looking old” is so terrible… but that is what they were taught. Being (and getting) old is a great privilege. Many foolishly try to “not look their age,” while, all the while, having stale thoughts and ideas on the inside.
