“THORNS”
By Kenny Fedder
Words can cut you like a knife,
For they can leave a scar.
Thorns can get below your skin.
To show you where you are.
Oh some can be avoided,
But all were meant to be.
Some send a warning message,
Be careful wait and see.
That you will pay for what you do
In this cold world below.
While working for a better life,
You’ll reap just what you sow.
They’ll come and chill you to the bone
And they can make you cry.
For thorns can hurt you deeply,
Or make you never try.
Some were sent to bring you pain
For what they say you’ve done.
Others help you understand,
You walk before you run.
They can come while you’re not looking,
So try to watch your back.
For some there seems no reason,
Can you imagine that?
Well there’s a plan to help you grow,
Designed when you were born.
To make you strong and build you up,
So thank Him for the thorns.
Cause they bring to your attention
That you are not alone.
Thorns draw you ever closer,
They help Him lead you home.
Back to the one who made you,
Next to the one who bled.
When thorns composed so rich a crown,
Were forced upon His head.
