THORNS AND ROSES

trying to make sense of life and love
trying to pick out the thorns from the roses
my heart always shattered my spirit always broken
but I get up again always and forever knowing
no matter what the pain no matter what the strife
there is always someone to help me move on in life
be it the word of a friend or the kindness of a stranger
the love of a family member all of that matters
but when it comes to love closeness and desire
I always pick the thorns from the roses
