Why blame the thorn <br />the rose needed it.. <br />when a bud <br />to protect from plucking hands <br />when blossomed <br />safe from suckling bands <br />the rose slept <br />while the thorn crept <br />wildly adept <br />upon the petalling fingers <br />when the rose aged <br />and sees no reason <br />for the thorn's missions <br />now the rose <br />ready to free <br />from the plant <br />and adorn the world <br />hates the thorn <br />that accompanies it.<br /><br />lalitha iyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-blame-the-thorn/
