A look at a rosebush and what do you see
A little bit of you, and a little bit of me
From the rose that is a beauty and is multiplied many times over
From the leaves that are green, and ones that are red
To the thorns that are hidden in everyone's life
Don't let the rose fool you, it's beauty has everyone in awe
That you will have difficult times, HE said in the book, that HE left you
And it's leaves show you the life, that your story is untold
The Rose is what HE wanted for you, but how would you appreciate the Rose
If you hadn't experienced the thorns
The triumphs and victories, that is your Rose to be seen
And the leaves are like the branches of every day life
And the promise of a rainbow that HE has made to you
That HE would not punish by storms again
However, last but not least
Do not ever fear the thorns
Because that is what keeps you coming back to HIM

Give Me A Break
I am starting a new series of articles, that I am calling "Give Me A Break". I will be addressing the things that I find absurd, and perposturous. I will start with this issue, because I was in contact with my ex-sister in-law on facebook. And she did the same thing my ex- husband did to his son, to her son.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
