Reminder of our responsibility and accountability.

Rose bursts fragrance of sweetness in the air!

It lifts a weary soul when its perfumes touch every nose.

Its petals dances in the breezing air healing the wounds of the heart

And mending the aching emotion of a broken heart and soul.

Rose is simple yet full of understanding,

It simply blooms with joy in the garden yet with ready

thorns to embrace the wicked.

Rose is simply like us,

It shares the same fragrance and colors as to humans.

We have all roses ready to envelop soothing scent to others.

We have all roses ready to bring diverse colors to pamper each life!

Such a sad reality when many people un-noticeably adore more

of the thorns rather than its exaggerating petals.

Unfortunately, we see rather the thorns than its petals.

Reality bites when people look closely more of ones loopholes

rather than the good points!

We take notice first of  the thorns of the person rather than the red petals

of his kindness and humility.

We tend to lean on a single bruise of thorns that one caused to us rather than

the adorned petals that lifted us to be better persons!

When can we learn to see first the rose in others

and forget the thorns of bitterness?

    You cannot have roses without thorns. One must take the bad with the good. Even when a cloud casts a dark shadow, it could not if the sun was not shining brightly above it.
