Like a rose

If every rose has a thorn,
Then why do we continue to pick them?
We eventually learn that care is needed,
That we must be careful, and avoid the thorns.
And so it is with all of life;
With Love, and friendships.
Every aspect of living has thorns.
The trick is never to give up,
To find the part that does not cause you such pain.
For, as the beauty of a rose can be given as a gift of love and friendship,
So can life.
So don't give up.
