life is never a bed of roses,
and even if it were, as it is;
roses have thorns.
good things don’t last.
well bad things don’t either.
life is, and requires, a balance of both.
roses have thorns.
some thorns have roses.
yet, roses are beautiful.
life can be rosy,
Alife can be thorny,
life can be beautiful.
Day One. Thirty days, thirty poems. November challenge. Hope you enjoyed it. Comments and criticisms are welcome.
Love❤️
Liz.
Life is really beautiful if we understand the thorns are there to help us grow better… Great piece dear, love it❤️❤️

Thorns symbolise protection too the thorns protect the beauty of the rose. Everything needs protection.

Reblogged this on James Azam and commented:
My friend Liz is challenging herself to a poem per each day of November. This is the first of them. It talks about the two-sided nature of life’s experiences. Even though life is not entirely black or white, it is safe to divide our experiences into two categories – good and bad. That is what I get from her first poem and I hope you learn a thing or two from it too. Enjoy.

Fame and glam is no bed of roses
It is no pleasure cruise
That’s not all there is to the human race
