A Little Rose

Michael Rogers 1974 (NJ)

Ballad
When I walked into your garden of life
A little rose you were.
Defiant from the sun light
Into a beautiful rose you grew.

A sparkle of light when you told us
A little rose seedling you carry with you
Many sun's later the seedling sprouted without a fuss
Just like you a seedling sprouted so beautiful.

Guide and teach it as the sprout grows
In a place that is always changing
Show the sprout all it should know
For the sprout should always be staging.
