To Each His Own Poem by Belle Wassermeister

To Each His Own

Rating: 5.0


What one approves, another scorns,
and thus his nature each exposes.
Some see the rosebush full of thorns;
some see the thornbush full of roses.

This is not my original work. I found it in a book, and the author did not say who had written it.

Whoever wrote it does deserve credit. Belle, sincerest thanks for honoring that person's work. There is so much wisdom in both!

Yes! Very much. I remember, I have read the last two lines long back. But I don't remember where. And I don't remember having seen the first two. But beautiful lines. Most interesting thought. Thank You for sharing.

Perception is the eye of the beholder, truth exists differently for each person, its hard to find the essence of what really is. A lovely and thoughtful work!
