Unreal

Like roses on a thorn I never knew
 What I thought was beneath and what was there
 I look inside and all I see is you
 And there I found I actually do care
 More than I deserve, you make me feel
 Am I awake? Or is this just a dream?
 Heart Beats, with a tear and my thoughts unreal
 Perhaps this world is more that what it seems;
 I hope someday you'll see what I see
 Away with your pity and no more sighs
 You'll look inside and tomorrow we will fly
 You'll change and the sky will darken its hue
 Whatever you become I will still love you

Whoa! Now that's what's known as unconditional love. I love your illustration of the rose. When you're pricked by thorns from a rose flower, it's easy to ignore its beauty -it's just like a mud covered precious stone, the beauty still remains. To remind ourselves of that and to remind others is what true friendship is all about. Nicely said Clare!
