On Love and Roses
How like a rose is love in progress made,
budding, then blooming in the sun's caress,
able to withstand periods of shade,
maintaining beauty even in distress.
But love an unmixed blessing never is,
like roses, love has thorns, predacious claws.
But even with its pain, love always 'tis
worth nurturing, for what claims not its flaws?
So cherish love as long as it may live,
hold fast to what affection's gifts bestow.
Though yes, there are things one cannot forgive,
sometimes so hurtful one must let love go.
For thorns still live when roses die away,
life's bitter sting when beauty meets decay.
