Life seemingly paved in an abundance of roses Threatens the presence of troublesome thorns Each step taken shackled with tenuous fear Terrified of what lies beneath the fragrant carpet
A path of uncertainty for all to embark The journey begins purely without introspection With trepidation we wind our way Through miles of flora and rolling meadows
Sweet florid scents fill the air Soothing those who breathe in her sweet bouquet Reassuring us, calming all fears Encouraging us to wander forward
