Thorns Interlude
Fundisha Hicks
The perfect symbol to define love
Is a rose
See a rose you have petals, a stem, and
You have thorns
But what holds this rose together
Is this stem that happens to have thorns
In order for us to encompass what love
Truly is
And embrace the beauty of it
We have to come to a place where we
Can embrace those thorns
And we just happen to grab that stem
And feel those thorns
We can't just take it and throw it away
We can't just drop it
We have to learn to encompass it all
And understand as we encompass it all
That's still love
