Thorns In the Path of Life
I walked along life's path one day,
and looked at where I'd been,
the path was not so rosy,
it was lined with hedges of thorns,
that often left me tattered and torn.
I struggled through the thorns,
with the promise of roses in sight,
I wasn't giving up on life,
without an unending fight.
Once through the thorns,
in the distance I could see,
the roses that were waiting,
to a part of my life be.
I stood up straight and strong,
as I raced for the roses,
and left behind all that was wrong.
So now I live in roses,
with an occasional thorn,
to remind were where I've been,
from the time I was born.
