You left us suddenly,Your thoughts unknown,You left us memories,We are proud to own.

THE ROSE

Some say love it is a riverThat drowns the tender reed

Some say love it is a razorthat leaves your soul to bleed.Some say love it is a hunger

An endless aching need.I say love, it is a flowerAnd you its only seed.

Its the heart afraid of breakingThat never learns to dance

Its the dream afraid of wakingThat never takes the chance.

Its the one who won’t be takenWho cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonelyAnd the road has been too longAnd you think that love is onlyFor the lucky and the strong.Just remember in the winterFar beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun’s loveIn the spring becomes the rose.
