Family Roses

Family is like roses,
beautiful, blooming, but they have their thorns
they are so hard to get growing,
but once they do,
they blossom into a great big protective bush
that surrounds you with the aroma of summer,
and you,
you are just a little sprout poking its way through the earth,
in the center of the garden,
so that all the roses surround you,
and this is family
