To a Deep Red Rose 2-15-00

How did you get


So prickly and mean?


Does this mean love?


It does, why does it


Seem so harsh?


I am made prickly


For protection and it


Reminds me of the harsh


Times that I’ve been through.


Yes, this is love


Red is the color of love


And it is a strong meaning.


Love is harsh because


You have to take the good


With the bad.
