Once upon a summer's day

I strolled through a garden

and came across a rose just like any other

Although I asked myself this question.

Why is it that roses have thorns?

Is it because they are fragile

Similar to that of charcoal after a flame

Or that their beauty mustn't be touched.

Still we go and touch that rose.

we get hurt nonetheless but not by its thorns

but by it's stunning beauty.

One of many in this garden of Eden.

Flourishing in memories

Overwhelming in roses
