Last Rose
Last Rose
Oh the last rose
is growing in the threshold
of my mind
if I do right by it
then I surely will be fine
because the mirror recently
doesn't like what it sees
sees a person too scared
wavering in their beliefs
but the last rose
is growing
if only I don't kill it
out of insecurity or greed
The last rose
has the smoothest stem
it's hope blooming
with reserved reverence
because I have abused this body
for longer than I care to admit
blamed on stupidity
my own worst enemy
but now yes! Finally....
I want that chance
to change what I have become
so grabbing it with all my might
the rose should never be my thorn
because love
is the one return
that all obstacles over come
so I welcome my final rose
because it feels as though
chances are all too fleeting
never do you know life's fate
until the Lord greets you
in your journey's final meeting
so I decide the rose will go
wherever I will
so I decide the rose will grow
the petals will be
who I really am
and I rejoice
in the sun
finally at peace!
