If we planted a flower for it's beauty to expose, we most likely would bury the seedling of a rose! The beauty of a rose with dew on its petal, is equalled by nothing, not diamonds or metal ! But, reach for the rose, and you'll probably find, You'll be pricked or scratched, or get injury of some kind. For the prettier the rose, ther sharper, the thorn, to protect the rose, it's beauty to adorn ! Cletus Hardiman
Reason for writing:
Everything is life has a price ! The greater the object that we desire, whether it be material or otherwise, the greater the cost....Life is a trade-off ! No one can have everything and to get the beautiful "rose" that you want will cost you !
