Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Life was running perfect on its rails,
Smooth and steady apace,
Till there was an unforeseen turn,
Every rose has its thorn.

The kindest person I ever met,
Added fragrance to my life,
His absence pricks so sharp ,
But every Rose has its thorn .

Dreams so bright near fulfil,
Mesmerised my heart and soul,
Till some awakened me to reality,
Every Rose has its thorn !
