Ode To Milk and Honey

love is like a rose
so beautiful when it blooms
can come in different colors
some even paint it blue

love is like a rose
be wary of the thorns
love can prick the heart
make you rue when you 
were born

gonna' tell you baby
love baby 
is like a rose

Thank you my friend. The Canadian poet Rupi Kaur inspired this poem.
