| The Rose's Tear |
| As I walked past the fenced in garden A single rose caught my attention It's blossom was sticking through the fence As if it were trying to remove itself From the prison it had been given A drop of dew was hanging From the tip of the bottom pedal A tear of lonliness and longing And a cry for just one person to care For just one person to give thought Of the despair life can hold I went out of my way to stop the tear from falling to the cold concrete And let it fall onto my warm hand I could feel the gratitude of the rose For that is how I would feel If just one person would care enough To go out of there way for me |
