Shelly

Somehow this reminds me of Blake's Sick Rose.

O Rose, thou art sick! 
The Invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of Crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Hmmm....
....got me thinkin' sam, that maybe the thorns are there to make us more careful in how we handle the delicate and beautiful people and things in life that can that are so precious to us.

"Roses" and "scorn" should never be used in the same sentence.  My mother was a "Rose" in every sense of the word.  It was her name, and her character.   He who scorns as he gives a rose is missing out on the true meaning of this wonderful gift of life.

I think roses were created at the same time our souls were made
