There Is A Reason Roses Have Thorns...

There is a reason roses have thorns...
I never thought of this as a young girl.... we don't often hesitate to make them our own treasures; these beautiful, fragrant, delicate creatures. The little prick on the finger is so insignificant at the time.

We reach for them without a moments pause. How greedy we are.


Maybe this is how one would express a deep loss. Maybe someone greedy just grabbed at you and what was yours... without a moments pause. Ouch.  So you are plucked, left to dry out, discarded...your suffering is short.


But the one who did the grabbing... the greedy one, well their pleasure was certainly short lived as well.  Shall it suffice to say, perhaps that you brought the beauty and held something so desireable that it had to be had...thorns and all.


There is a reason roses have thorns...
