    A Rose w/no Thorns

    A Rose with No Thorn

    In love’s Garden, the bouquet of life
    There bloomed a rose whose beauty caught my eye
    Incomparable is this rose’s design
    Unlike the others, she is not the prickling kind
    I know they say that every rose has its thorn
    But here blooms the exception, of the spirit she is born
    One of a kind, the rarest in form
    For she is a rose with no thorn

    Oh what a fragrance, so lovely and fair
    A scent of sincerity sweeps through the air
    A pristine beauty from the realms up above
    For she is the flower primeval of love
    And as I bask in her blossoms of compassion
    I find I am fashioned by love that’s everlasting
    And in my heart she’ll always be adorned
    For she is a rose with no thorn

    Though weeds, thorns and thistles have tried to choke her
    The rain has wet her; the sun has even scorched her
    But she’ll not wither, neither will she wilt
    For she is rooted in the love that God has tilled
    Amidst great turmoil, never to be foiled
    Arrayed in glory that could never ever toil
    One of a kind, yes the rarest in form
    For she is a rose with no thorn

    And indeed she has earned it. Most would not give her the praise. Jealousy. It is good to see respect given where it is due. A rare gift for a rare flower.

    Again I love this poem. It does tell my story of my life to this day. I haven't given up when life had me so down with various types of abuse, being unexcepted & unloved at times. I've always kept a spirit of goodness, compassion, love & caring for others. I have always continued in trying to grow & go on to be the best I can be and look towards the plan God has for me. I use to be strong but through all my life's pain trials and grief, I am a survivor that I feel makes me a Rose in spite of the Thorns I have known. - Hope this isn't so dramatic, but it is the truth. Thanks for sharing the beauty and deep meaningful words of this poem.

    Very nice poem.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
