A Flower and a Thorn

A flower is so lovable and dear, 
but why..is the thorn,
so unlikable and undear? 
even  the flower thinks, its sibling 
worthless and prone..
The only one who can understand its pain,
is the mother plant, who gives birth to both, 
the flower and the thorn.

Makes me glad I am not a lover of roses as their beauty masks those nasty barbs. I especially love those three final lines Vdeep:-) hugs jan xx
