Roses and Thorns
November 15, 2023
Every rose has its thorns,
We can choose to let go,
Or to mourn
What once was, now is not
Focus not on what you had,
But what you've got
For all good things
Must come to an end,
"Nothing gold can stay,"
As Frost once said
The future can be bright,
Or it can be dark,
It's up to you, how you leave your mark
Living a life filled with fear,
Will never allow goodness
To come near
Create your future,
Choose the right path,
Or forever suffer
What Could Have Been's Wrath
The choice is yours,
Carpe diem,
it's never over, until life ends
