A Tender Rose
From a little thing
Your body grows
With inner love
To a tender rose
From deep within
Love blossoms out
Like a tender rose
There is no doubt
A soul deep within
As tough as metal
But skin so soft
Like a roses petal
Like a summer bloom
Your true colour shows
Different in many ways
Like a tender rose
When your body fails
And strength begins to go
Beauty starts to wilt
Like a tender rose
When a person dies
Their soul re-grows
Like a fallen bud
From a tender rose
