There Are No Roses Without Thorns
There are no roses without thorns
nor is there pain that cannot be borne.
Between love and duty sometimes torn-
there are no roses without thorns.
There’s no promise of tomorrow
here in this world there will be sorrow.
Our time on earth we only barrow-
there’s no promise of tomorrow.
There is no pleasure without pain
and blue skies today precede the rain.
Life’s daily struggles our faith doth strain-
there is no pleasure without pain.
There are no roses without thorns
nor is there a loss we don’t still morn.
Between love and duty sometimes torn-
there are no roses without thorns.
