Red and Black Roses

Roses are red and roses are black Depends on how you look at that I see a fantasy colorful with dreams Ignoring all the darkness and screams For every good deed is there one bad For every happy dream was someone sad Is life filled with a necessary balance To really live it must there be a challenge

The positives and negatives in life, it's a struggle to overcome the negatives sometimes, we all wish life was straightforward but we should carry on, never giving up. Hope your week is full of positives Karen. Tom
