A Rose And It's Thorn Poem by Joseph Cross

A Rose And It's Thorn

Rating: 5.0


A rose and a thorn,
Together are born.
One in beauty,
The other in scorn.

The first brings love,
The other brings pain.
One is born red,
The other brings red stain.

Yet rose withers away,
While thorn lives on,
Feeling still sorrow,
For rose was picked at dawn.

What you'd gained is what you'd miss if the path is rough tainted by unwanted virus of hatred and jealousy.Good job Joseph!
