"The Rose"

Folder: 
Not To Be Missed







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 its 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.





~ Song Performed by Bette Midler (thanks to Elham for the details)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Indeed, the seed becomes a rose, only because of love. I hope you come to believe in this too :)
