Confidence is for those ~by Lilian Dipasupil Kunimasa

 

 

Confidence is for those

Confidence is for those
who have held a rose
and been pricked by its thorns.

Arrogance is for those
who have seen a rose
in a picture and knows it all.

Ignorance is for those
who have never a rose
seen or held or been pricked.

Dreaming is for those
who have wished a rose
seen, smelt, felt with mind

And Love is for those
who have planted a rose
not caring if seen, held or pricked.
