Fragrance

Thorn piercing blood from stem 
to make rose ever red 
blossoms it to attract 
every eye and win all heart in process 

The pain and suffering of thorn 
never goes in vain 
despite fables spread across 
to undermine the supreme sacrifice 

Red rose truly acknowledges 
by carrying toughness inside 
and fragrance outside 
to reach one and all.
