A Rosebush, Thorny Yet Fragrant Poem by Doris Cornago

'You are the most supportive and sweetest person in the world.
I have no idea why I have you with me, but to deserve you
Is a blessing. A blessing that leads to another blessing
And so on - because you pray and 'buy' us more
Blessings for a better life; however hard life
Gets, whatever I give or don't give you,
You still give me consistently, like
The sun that never stops giving
Light, life and love to all.'
And so I will even
Though hope
Strength
And
Vision
Flicker, your
Words majestic
Like the sun marking
The spot where love rose
And became a rosebush, thorny
Yet fragrant, inviting admiration but
Not all fun, traction lost when we let loose
Friction causes splits, near separation, alone
Days are long, couldn't carry on, where was I wrong
Recriminations, in desperation and desolation wounds
Love is never a game, not a competition of who's stronger
Love is not limited by time nor space, nor color of skin, nor politics
Love is the sea flowing into the ocean, when it gives it becomes more
