LIFE V

The scent of a blossom
So fragrant and frail
Beauty of such quality
As like told in a fairy tale.
 
A symbol of life
It blooms with time
Time is the future
Put the past behind.
 
Such a delicate thing
For it could not harm
But do not be misled
Beware... the thorn.
 
The thorn may inflict pain
The pain of life
Injecting the venom
It may wound like a knife.
 
And... knives can blunten
And thorns may die
So put a smile on your face
And keep the sparkle in your eye.
 
Today the sun shines
Tomorrow they mould
With laughter and loving
Each they shall hold.

written 1999
