Message of the Rose

The soft petals of rose’ freshness Tell us how to spread the softness Of love among the harsh and spiny Reality of life that goes With the time and stress Among the spines of harshness We can make our hearts fresh With the feelings of soft love Without any of the worldly clash Love never knows how to fight It has a tender bright light To shade the hot of the day And warm the cold of dark night How warmly, lovingly it touches The edge of spiny pain’s reaches And absorbs all the pinning aches Like the winning ships on the beaches
