Not all thorns either.


Poem Artwork

Every since Adam got kicked
out of the garden
mans life has harden
Life surely isn't a rose
this almost everyone can propose
and they don't have to suppose
But this doesn't have to be
the way it goes
A lot of life smoothly flows

Like a river running its course
life is full of God given choice
and we all do have a voice
My voice says get out and enjoy
find a really nice toy
Oh boy
I do love to enjoy
But I've Got to stay away from
the Almond Joy
Candy with chocolate almonds and
coconut so sweet
it can make a day complete
but the fat man I may meet
It's surely hard not to self defeat

So I cut back on my candy
there are other things to make life
more dandy
Like keeping a good smile ready
and handy
When the rose thorns prick
and at times they will stick
It's best to find some kind or joy
real fast and quick

Woven in between the chocolate covered almonds are words to live by in this sage gem.
