The Rose Within

The blossomed twig once a rose;
is now a spiked thing, as summer comes to a close.

What once was beautiful and sweet;
it now appears life did defeat.

And caused all to withdraw;
when many sharp points, they saw.

Few have seen the tear so slight;
at the beginning of mornings first light,

that caresses the long barren stem;
and quickly disappears out of sight of them.

Who cares for the beauty within;
where does a friendship begin?

But warmed by love and the Son's light;
a little green appears, ever so slight.

A change mighty you'll see;
as once again a rose it'll be!
