It never fails
The rain and hail
Over and over it prevails
Thrashing on all
No reason to stop
Down the fall; drop
Crumbling away each day
Slowly slowly torn away
Built back up in a new way
Time has come
It’s time to sing
Time to spread your wings
Knowledge to be your power
This world to not devour
Another good soul too afraid & cower
Into the unknown; who’s to say
There is not but many right ways
There is more than black & white; gray
Past your comfort zone
Out of your home
Into the blue yonder; you roam
I, Rose, Amongst thorns 
Sometimes the world is pretty daunting, but it’s definitely worth facing it head on….you find it gets less intimidating as you face each challenge.
A beautiful day is made with a ‘smile’ and a ‘thank you’
