A Rose Can Live Among The Thorns
Quote Title: Unknown
Poem: Trina Graves
A rose is pure beyond compare
Its fragrance floating in the air
Delicately soft, colour supreme
A joy to behold whenever seen
Yet closely by are many a thorn
Sharp, destructive, everything torn
That touches on its razor tip
Be careful or we soon will rip
Never-the-less we love the rose
Its Heavenly beauty juxtapose
To the thorn, the contrast stands
Clearly evident throughout our lands
We can learn from this flower
A higher meaning to give us power
Heaven on Earth is here to see
When we focus on beauty clearly
There will always be thorns around
Tearing, gripping, taking hearts to the ground
People, the media, elite powers, dreadful deeds
Cut through with all the negativity it feeds
But we can live among the thorns always
And let them be, purity in forgiveness stays
We blossom and grow in beauty and joy
If our discerning perception we employ
So live your beauty, Heaven scent
Colour your days, life is meant
To be a gift from a Higher Power
Be a rose, God’s precious flower
