Roses

Flowers are a lot like life
Roses are MY favorite
Their bright red shine
And fragrant smell
Roses have it all

Life has good times
More often, it seems
They're bad
A lot like roses
Beauty, with thorns

My life has had it's thorns
I'm sure they're not over, yet
But more often, I expect
The better times will surface
I hope, saying that, I won't regret

Life has downfalls
Roses do too
Where we have Y2K bugs,
Roses have affids
But then the katy-dids appear

Roses create happiness
But life has it's good points too
Never will we be unhappy
If we don't let the roses disappear
Flowers, indeed, are a lot like life


'In the garden of life, friends are the flowers'



 Hope,
Alicia A. Renzelman

"In the garden of life, friends are the flowers" Yes this is very true. Liked how you compare life with a rose, although I prefer to still see the beauty of the rose even when the thorns hurt me.

Roses grow on you

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

"Never will we be unhappy
If we don't let the roses disappear"

Feeling down...well grab the roses and get it in gear.
