#111 Stem Of A Rose...

Have you ever noticed

the stem of a rose,

a thin line of green timber

strong and shiny as it grows..

Branches along the way

and sharp prickly thorns,

disguised by its own colour

catch you bleeding at dawn..

The leaves are plenty

yet they are ignored by all,

right at the top rests the reward

at the sight of it, its worth it

and all that pain is gone..
