Live Like A Rose

Quote By Poet "The pretty rose has thorns to keep her safe." life is filled with both happiness and sadness when happiness shows up it can over take us with joy, like the perfume from a pretty new rose... just like the pretty rose we also live and die the rose is safe guarded by thorns we need to be safe guarded by true friends and loving family
