Message of the Rose

The soft petals of rose’ freshness
Tell us how to spread the softness
Of love among the harsh and spiny
Reality of life that goes
With the time and stress

Among the spines of harshness
We can make our hearts fresh
With the feelings of soft love
Without any of the worldly clash

Love never knows how to fight
It has a tender bright light
To shade the hot of the day
And warm the cold of dark night

How warmly, lovingly it touches 
The edge of spiny pain’s reaches
And absorbs all the pinning aches
Like the winning ships on the beaches
