Life Is a Rose

Feel the ones
who are far,
touch the ones who are close.
And every day has memories
which sometimes fit a little jar.
Life is a rose 
with thorns and flowers,
live is not strange
as life is ours.
Keep smiling through the toughest time,
enjoy yourself with every rhyme.

Thinking of you and your moving. You are so far away but my thoughts are with you Gert. When all is done I will look forward to some new poems from you. Take your time and don't overdo. I believe I seen some poems of yours I haven't read yet so I will read some of those until you return my friend. Love and blessings always, Carol

Very inspiring, Gert! Just what I needed to read today. Indeed, life does have both "torns and flowers." And it helps to have a sense of humor to face the difficult times. Thank you for reminding me of this. Love, Carolyn
