The Thorn & The Rose

        They say that opposites attract
But a relationship could never last
They warn to never get involved
For it would be over way too fast

The attraction is purely physical
And love needs so much more
But somehow we starve to connect
Like the waves and the shore

The friction that tried to destroy us
And push us so far apart
Couldn’t overcome the power of
The love we had in our heart

We found a way to ignore the laws
Of nature and found a forever love
We both know though that a Devine
Power was giving us a shove

It’s a miracle like with the Sun & Rain
Something beautiful grows
And opposites can survive together
Like the Thorn & The Rose

I’m the Thorn and my wife Cindy
Is the Rose. We’re complete opposites
And there’s no exaggeration.
I’m loud and outgoing and always wanting
To do things and go and get out of the house
She is very comfortable laying on the couch with a blanket and her tablet.
I’m Rock & Roll and I go to concerts and I play my music loud and she won’t even listen to music at all except in her car and it’s country. I’m not a show off by any means and I don’t make a scene or anything but I do love wearing T-Shirts that get noticed and I enjoy getting compliments on my shirts and I talk to everyone and she doesn’t have any interest in being noticed and she doesn’t talk to anybody but me and who she’s with.
It’s too funny but we love each other like crazy!!!!
