1.

A man hacked through the dense, thorny vines

            He was frightened

                      As he stumbled upon

                               the golden ruin


2.


A little girl joyously scanned the bush if blackberries

                                        As she reached eagerly for one,

         she caught a bramble on her little finger

The girl burst into tears


3.

Why must a thorn be bad?

    It's the last struggle before victory.

      
4.

The righteous men wore laurel leaf crowns at the party in merriment

The sinner in the corner wore a crown of thorns


5.

A rose bush is bittersweet

                                               The glorious roses

             And the cruel brambles


6.

The wall was not made of stone.

                                A separated family could hear each other lament from either side


7.

The two roads went to the same place

                    One was paved and wide

The other was narrow and overtaken by the dense bush


8.

A weary family walked through a bed of thorns

             A new family walked to their freedom.


9.**

One does not go through life,

              without

a thorn
