_____________________________________ TITLE : THORNSMEETGRACE GENRE : POETRY THEME : KNOWING/LOVING YOURSELF DATE PUBLISHED ON : 08/06/2020 POET : ABIGAEL DAVID _____________________________________
Red in colour, But feeling blue inside My unique scent Attracts lots of butterflies. You may think I am so pretty And bring lots of smiles, But to approach me, You need to be very wise.
Cause even though I look pretty, I have thorns all over my stem. Thorns that exist to protect me From all the hurt I've felt. Everyone looked past me After being stung once But there was only one person Who gave me a hug.
He got stung all over, I felt so bad inside. But he just smiled and said, 'I need to give a rose to my bride. And you're the perfect one So no matter how many thorns are outside, I'll still try my best to get you But for that, I have to understand your mind.
Saying so, he fondled my petals Ignoring the tiny stings he got once in a while And he told me, 'You're beautiful No one wants to hurt you, so smile. You're placed on earth to spread joy and love. Don't let the hate stop you from looking above.' I was so shocked, I didn't know what to say But I trusted his words in my own way.
Kneeling down on the hard ground, He touched the thorns that had been hurting everyone. Smiling at me, he plucked them out. Bit by bit, thorn by thorn, he left none out. He said, 'I'm taking you to a loving home. A place where you'll find no use for your thorns.' And then he gently plucked me out, Put me in a vase with water and set out.
He presented me to his lady love And watched her smile the smile he loved. She fondled my petals and gave him a hug And said,' It's so beautiful. Thank you, luv. ' And that's how my story changed From a story of a neglected flower to a story of grace I never found the need to grow thorns again Cause I was now a precious flower, who had no room for hate.
