The Tree in the Garden

I love the image this poem paint in my head as I read it; "the trees in the garden rained flowers"-doesn't that metaphor just make you want to run under the tree and dance around? The beginning of this poem just gives off joyous happiness.Then the reader gets to picture this thorn of a bush amidst all these gorgeous flowers. When compared with it's surroundings it's ugly and dismal, not part of the joyous, pretty, floral picture the reader first imagines. Then the reader realizes that this thorn represents the strong who aren't always beautiful, yet they stand and are bold. The thorn bush is what deserves to be beautiful but isn't. Sometimes a person doesn't have to have the "pretties" of life to be happy and strong, yet the bare basics can make a person looked up at as a role model. This piece could definitely be interpreted many ways and there is a very deep idea behind the thorn and the flowers surrounding it.
