There are thorns in the pathway
But roses bloom in the horizon.
There are thorns in the sky
But roses watch from the stars.
There are thorns in our hearts
As we wave goodbye
But there are roses in our wounds
Reminding us this won’t be the last time.

I wrote this earlier this year when my friend was moving away. She is back now though so we're all good :]
