A Rose is often used to show your affectionate feelings to someone special.

The 'R' in the word represents the radiant beauty of a rose. For no flower can compare.
For you are like a rose filled with passion and are truly one of a kind.

The 'O' represents the overwhelming depths of colour of each petal of the rose. It's like the outstanding depths of color that spark in your beautiful eyes.

The 'S' represents the softness of each petal of the rose. For your lips are like the petals of a rose, soft and sweet to each kiss.

The 'E' represents the everlasting beauty of the rose, for the rose soon fades and dies But the everlasting beauty of it stays in the eyes of your mind forever.

For you are like my rose
For your beauty is everlasting
It never fades nor dies
In the eyes of the one who loves you.

I know I am breaking my own rule by posting a photograph that I did not take myself but Icarus highlighted this project on Time And A Word and I want to share it with you.


Children at a rural school in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh are running a photoblog about daily life in their village, Kalleda. The school gives children from poor families a free education.

"These labourers work on the construction of the new Junior College. They are carrying the foundation stones for the guest house."

"Education is a tool for human development.

A man without education is like a strange animal."

-Abhilash- (the boy who took this photograph in an article on BBC News)
