Journey Through Thistles & Time

<p>The thistle plant has deep roots and can flourish even in very poor soil. Its flowers are beautiful but almost impossible to gather. Because of its barbs it is seldom touched. In many ways life's journey is like a thistle - beautiful to behold but painful to grasp.</p><p><br></p><p>Most of these poems were written to make you laugh cry remember bring you solace and/or inspiration. A few of them are intended to prick the conscience of society on certain issues that are also deep rooted and seldom touched.</p><p><br></p><p>Come journey with me through thistles and time.</p><p>-Joan Tenner</p>
