The Legend Of The Treasured Rose ©

There is a legend born long ago of a Captain that sailed the seven seas. Just before leaving port he was given a rose by his true love. Its beauty he thought was unmatched by anything he had seen before. He placed the rose in his cabin and gazed at it often. After some time had passed the rose began to wilt and one by one the petals fell from what was once its mighty stem. When all the petals had fallen the Captain gathered them and placed them in a glass bottle. That night he took a piece of parchment and began writing about his true love and the beauty of the gift he was given. When done, he rolled the parchment into a scroll, placed it in the bottle and sealed it with a cork. In the morning he took the bottle to the bow of the ship and threw it into the sea hoping it would find its way back to her. Some say that The Treasured Rose Bottle washed ashore and in to the hands of his true love. Others say it is still out at sea waiting to by found. Whichever you believe, The Legend of the Treasured Rose lives on today because no matter the distance, hardship or sacrifice nothing can break the spirit of true love.
