If roses were with out thorns <br />Man would have been with out tears <br />If roses were only yellow <br />Life would have been shallow <br />If roses were not able to be held <br />Life might never needed a shield <br />And an end <br />But…… <br />Roses have sharp thorns <br />Roses are a lot <br />And could be held out <br />And so do we <br />Me and you <br />We need a shield <br />For life is so precious <br />Fragile to end <br />Roses and life are beautiful <br />Are they not? <br />But…. Some day…. <br />Both will die and rot <br /> <br />3 June 2005<br /><br />Konjit Berhane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-roses/
