Little Thorn

The agony 
pain and suffering
a little spec
yet so perfect
learn lessons from it
bleed a little
maybe cry
its really small
I doubt you will die
sometimes you need
a little poke
or a push 
to move along
no need to stitch
nothing was torn
just a lesson learned
from a little prick of a thorn.
