THE THORNS OF LOVE
Roses are used as a symbol of love.
Be careful, when you hold them in your hand.
There are thorns below the flower above,
Hold too strong and you will soon understand.
Just as with love, you must use gentleness,
Firm grip, is required, but not too tight.
True feeling, must be shown with your caress.
Practice is required to get things right.
Worry too much and you will not succeed.
You have to learn to be calm from the start.
True love can cause strong emotions indeed.
Such emotions may pierce thorns in your heart.
This journey is hard, to find love’s power.
Your reward is a beautiful flower.
