Cactus

Cactus

 “A daisy blooming in a desert is worth more than a rose blossoming in a rainforest.” – Mashona Dhimaya

In the desert of our life 

spread  with animal carcass

With eagle hovering over head

The only friend is a cactus.

Look at the cactus

If in the desert it can survive

The message is very clear 

In any place we can also thrive.

When there is no water in soil

Cactus finds it in the air

Flowers bloom amidst the thorns

Hope is what it shares. 

When the things go tough

Character tough like cactus bloom

They find their source of survival

And for regrets they have no room.

Vasant Khisty

Cactus is a product of tough environment with a rough surface and a soft core. Though they may have thorns but flowers too grow on them showing that even rough people can smile
