The thorn

The thorn is a plant so sharp and unassuming

But don't let its appearance fool you, it's quite astute

It grows in harsh and rugged terrain, always resuming

Its struggle for survival, it never disputes

Its prickly branches serve as protection

The thorn is a marvel of nature's design

A reminder to us all to be adaptable

So let us learn from the thorn, and be inspired

For even the smallest among us can be admired
