Life Is A Rose

If life was a rose,
would you pick it?
Life comes in many colours,
red, white, pink......
It comes with thorns
and a sweet smell.
Life can be long or short,
ugly or beautiful.
It can be strong,
or weak.
It can be lived out,
to the very last drop
or be cut too short.
Life is a rose
Will you pick it?
Or dig it up?
