My Rose

one day the Lord gave me a rose
who thought she was a weed
for her thorns of life had wounded her
and caused her soul to bleed

a rose so beautiful and rare
as one could ever be
but she cannot find inside herself
the flower that I see

she looks around the garden
and admires the flowers there
not realizing that her petals
are as beautiful and fair

I live to see the moment
when she understands it's true
that the other roses look at her
in admiration too

someday, I'll find the mirror
that will make her understand
when she sees the rose's reflection
in the glass held in her hand

that reflection of a flower
the purest one that grows
and she'll feel my adoration
for the "weed" that is my rose
