Thorn

The beautiful rose
still has a thorn,
but does not detract
from her full adorn.

You must look past
what is bumpy,
and do not sniff it
when you're jumpy.

'Cause if not careful,
it will prick,
a quick sharp pain
from a little stick.

  1. Lovely to look at and smell, but difficult to hug, right? Sharp piece!

    1. Many things in life have that hidden 'thorn'. Thanks for the comments.
