Rose of my Life

The rose petals are my life,

The thorns, let it be my sorrow ,

The leaves are my hope

because I wait for a better tomorrow,

A love as strong as the rose,

A beauty so rare,

I am gentle, yet prickled

life bittersweet and unfair ,

“Lord, Help Me!” I cry out ,

But no one hears my plea ,

My body’s tired, I’m bleeding out ,

My heart's in misery,

But just as the rose, one day I’ll bloom ,

My life for all to see ,

My misery will be gone soon ,

And my life will be lived happily ,

Let this be a testimony,

Of what my life is like ,

But as an angel, my wings will open ,

My mind, body, and soul will finally take flight
