The rose is a flower.
Unlike most others.
It is a symbol of love,
And a sign of passion.
The petals are soft,
With emense beauty.
Yet the thorns are sharp,
And hurt greatly.
It grows in many colours,
Blooms a thousand scents,
But by any other name,
The rose, is, as sweet.
David Weinberg 8 October 1998
