Why do roses have thorns?

Roses are beautiful,

Thorns are dangerous,

Why do they go together?

Why do roses have thorns?

When people look at a rose,

They see the pretty red petals,

Not the thorns hiding on the stem.

Why do roses have thorns?

People want to take the rose,

But the thorns draw blood when they do,

As a warning to go away.

Why do roses have thorns?

The thorns protect the rose,

From those who want to steal her.

They are part of the rose,

And they won’t let her be harmed.

That’s why roses have thorns.
