THE ROSE
God created the rose…
…A perfect medley
…….of color
…………and fragrance
…………….and charm.
Artist paint it
Poets meter it
..into symbols of strength
… beauty unfathomed
..... and love.
All this and one thing more…
….Upon it’s stem He placed a thorn.
Reach for it gently-
Handle it with care.
……..God’s perfect metaphor
None of us flawless..
None of us whole...
I have a thorn or two..
Reach for me gently,
Handle me with care...
....and I will be your rose -
........both petals and pain.
