The Rose - a poem by Lesley J Mills
 
THE ROSE

 
Years of tears pushed down inside
So many hurts that have never been cried
A dam that's full with a crack in the wall
So many teardrops that need to fall
 

Fears and failures of time gone by
Need to awaken with a heartfelt cry
God will shine his light so deep
A mountain to climb that seems so steep
 

A hand to hold along the way
'Rest in Me' you hear Him say
'You know I came to set you free
So walk this narrow path with me'
 

A rose in bud that's what you are
Don't stop now you've come so far
Let all those tears fall like rain
Then a full red rose will be yours to claim
