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.
