Rose

Goodbye Rose
For years of your tenderness
were not spent in vain

For now you are ready
for the world to cherish
for the world to trample upon

Right infront of our eyes
like a sparrow you took off
for this wild world

I cried a tear or two
But never thought
I could break a smile

To see you walk away
To see you face your horizons
to see you reach for the sky

But soon it dawns
with balloons and bombs
tearing you apart

you may break down
or hold on to hope
when faced with gruesome odds

but see the light
when all is done
in your childhood peace
