A thorn bush
A thorn bush, Not what's wanted, Not what's enchanted, A rose bush, Is what's wanted, Is what's magnificent, Yet a rose bush has thorns. Though its looks are different, Those small similarities, What's beautiful has imperfections, What's treated wrongly has beauty, The moral is your decision, But look for beauty, In the dullest of places, And not all "perfect" is perfect.
