Life! Its no bed of roses.
For roses have thorns!
Upon which the losses;
A lifetime we mourn.
Whilst gardens bear;
Seasons of beauty.
Where flowers shall bloom;
Upon banishing thy gloom.
Whilst rainbows glide;
Upon the bluest of skies.
Behold! The journey,
Shall improvise.
Life! Its no bed of roses,
For roses have thorns!
Upon which the losses,
A lifetime we mourn.
Whilst rain shall fall,
Below fecund soil.
The heavens shan’t let,
Thee pleasure spoil.
And whilst the Sun,
Shines brightly still,
The journey shall bring;
Eternal joy and thrill.
Life! Its no bed of roses,
For roses have thorns!
Upon which the losses,
A lifetime we mourn.

life is a blend of joy and sorrow…from time immemorial life has been like this…use of archaic English perfectly suits the theme…I like the repetitions here..”And whilst the Sun, Shines brightly still, / Ye journey shall bring, / Eternal joy and thrill.” my favorite lines…

Thorns have roses – love that line and it so echoes some of my thoughts. The choices we make do have eternal consequences. Beautifully done.

Life is definitely not a ‘bed of roses,’ but we can work with what seems impossible and bloom in our own special ways.

Sanaa,
The truth of life is well remembered in your poem, although we are treated to the nicer things which we may often take for granted…Absolute happiness, may not be possible, when thorns are included!!

Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comment.
I do like your poem a lot and the sentiments it expresses are wonderful.
However, the use of “olde Englishe” rather spoiled it for me as you have not used the correct grammatical forms. This is constructive criticism, so please do not take it as a negative comment.
e.g. “Hath” is a third person singular verb and you have used it as a plural form (which should be “have” even in oder English).
“Ye” is the second person plural pronoun (plural form of thou) and hence needs “mourn” as the verb.; etc
Hello Nicholas,
Thanks for stopping by, glad you liked it 🙂
Highly appreciated!
ps: I ll fix it! 🙂
Thanks for taking my comment in the positive spirit it was intended and for amending the poem, it reads so much better now!
Just one more little correction, “whilst gardens HAVE- seasons of beauty” (which is a lovely turn of phrase, incidentally!).
Hello Nicholas,
It was my pleasure.. I truly appreciated your help.. have changed the wording yet again. 🙂
