The Rose

 

“Some say love it is a river

That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

 

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you it’s only seed

 

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

 

It’s the one who won’t be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin’
That never learns to live

 

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

 

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose.”

 

~  The Rose  Amanda McBroom
