A Bed of Roses: 12 Poems for The Soul, by author Reneé Drummond-Brown, depicts beauty, purity and love at first sight. The categories speak volume metaphorically pointing to the Scriptures. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob never promised us a rose garden or for our world-views to be seen through rose-coloured glasses because life isn't always a bed of roses.
Long gone are the days of fine-wine and roses because every rose has its thorn, but through endurance The 'Son' will come out tomorrow lightening man's breast loads of sorrows and have you
(once again) smelling of sweet rosettes.
