LIFE IS LIKE A ROSE

LIFE IS LIKE A ROSE


Life’s a bowl of cherries but
It has lemons sometimes.
On some days we get dollars,
On others, only dimes.

Life is in fact like a rose,
With both thorns and petals
Sometimes a petal soothes us
Sometimes a thorn nettles.

That day I just can’t forget
When I did miss my flight,
Making me very depressed
But then it came to light

That after the plane took off,
It exploded midair.
Killing all the passengers.
I had an escape rare.

I believe it’s rightly said:
Accept what be your fate.
Let not mind be burdened by
Needless negative weight.
