The rose symbolizes you,
     The thorn me
   I grow on you cause
    Your what i need.
Without you I don't exist,
    Become worthless.
   You give me beauty
          And
   I in return protect
      Your growth.

This was written for my girlfriend for our 2 month. i hope she likes it when she reads in on the 11-1-00

I never thought of a thorn that way. Thank you for sharing. IT is great to see you back.

Jeremiah, I too hadn't seen it from this perception before... what a wonderful way of looking at it!

this was very nice. i liked the wasy the rose was used, not so much as a symbol of beauty, but as a living organism. i'm sure she will enjoy it.

If you can feel that staying human is worthwhile, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.
