Thorn Bushes Have Roses

Today is my birthday and there are many things I appreciate

I thank the Lord for my family, friends and things I’ve done to date

Sometimes I’m disappointed that rose bushes have thorns

It is in those times I ride life holding its horns

Sometimes I rejoice that thorn bushes have roses

To support my growth more challenges life then poses

Love and gratitude today occupy my heart

That if I was to live my life again from the start

I wouldn’t change any experience, person or thing in it

Pain pleasure, high low, we cry and sing in it

Looking back at 34 years I thank God really

For making me and hope He still lets me be Sandras Phiri
