Roses are beautiful all the time
But alas, the rose would not be
If not for the thorns that protect it!
But alas, the thorns would sometimes prick
And wound a tender skinned babe!

Life is, roses and thorns all the time
But alas, if not for the problems
If not for problems it would be beautiful!
But alas the problems would sometime shatter
And kill a tender hearted babe!

Roses and thorns, life and problems
But alas, they could not be separated
If not for the one the other would not be!
But alas, the strongest would survive
And beautiful it would be, alas not a babe!
