If we planted a flower for its beauty to expose; we most likely would plant the seed of a rose. The beauty of a rose with dew on its petal, is equalled by nothing not even precious metal ! But, reach for the rose and you will probably find, you'll be pricked or scratched or get injury of some kind. For the prettier the rose the sharper the thorn..... to protect the rose, it's beauty to adorn ! Cletus Hardiman
Reason for writing:
Nothing worthwhile comes without a price.....To get the best, you must be the best......If you want to be a writer, you must pay the price of discipline....just to sit yourself down and make yourself do it....as with anything in life.....It takes a little hurt, a little prick, a little scratch....to succeed...You probably would not get hold of a beautiful rose without a little "prick."...Right?
