The Rose and the Thorn

The rose and the thorn, are together as one,
Just as are the planets, the stars, and the sun.

The rose represents beauty, the thorn represents pain,
In such are our lives, with losses and gains.

Perhaps best reflected, in the power of love,
Most like a gift, from the heavens above.

The thorn protrudes the heart, like lightning in the rain,
And the heart is torn, in anger and in pain.

The rose just like life, can be beautiful and pure,
The thorn the realization, that nothing is sure.

The rose and the thorn, are together as one,
Travel wisely my friends, till life's journey is done!
