Spreading wings of my mind, <br />soaring to heights unknown, <br />I later landed on the reality of life <br />Life is like a rose <br />Beautiful to behold <br />And a nice fragrance is emitted <br />There are thorns on the stem. <br />If you don't handle it well <br />The thorns will hurt you.<br /><br />Itai Oscar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thorns-on-a-rose-2/
