Daily prompt – Thorny

rose

The thorny stem

doesn’t deter the rose

from radiating its beauty.

The petals woven so delicately

in a myriad hues, so appealing

diffusing its fragrance, so divine

swaying in the breeze, so gently.

It imparts a lesson for all

to cling on to our

hopes and dreams

steadfast and determined,

in spite of the thorns in life

to blossom with grace ,

to an embodiment of perfection!

  1. ‘in spite of the thorns in life, to blossom with grace , to an embodiment of perfection!’ Beautiful last lines, Radhika and even though thorns are there in our lives just like the Rose we can yet grow beautifully and blossom with grace to perfection.

  2. Great words and all so true.
    “The thorny stem

    Despite the thorns in life, we can still say that life is beautiful. Despite the thorns on the path to success, we still strive to be successful. Life is a blend of roses and thorns. Lovely share, Radhika. Hugs. 🙂

  7. How true is this – the thorns dont deter the rose from blooming or spreading its fragrance! Beautifully put across Radhika – we should let the troubles in our life stop us from achieving what we are meant to do!!

  9. I’m loving this analogy Radhika & your talent has ensured that those views are expressed so perfectly… the words flow gently like a river. Beautiful!
    The rose is indeed such a perfect example for one to follow… ignore the bad, stay good.
