As Despair Grew Weary of Despair

Once upon a time in a wood
Where a brook flowed and ancient trees stood
It was dark with despair
Then a rose blossomed there
Through its thorns bringing hope where it could.

  3. Thanks, Meritings! As far as pricking one’s finger goes, I suppose despair would suggest something seriously bad has happened, but, from another perspective which may be hard to visualize, nothing seriously bad actually happened.
