(Rose poems) A rose In a raging Flood
A rose in a raging current cries
Out to love and kindness to be saved
The raging flood catches her and crashes
Her without pity on the sharp edged rocks
And waits in glee for the rose of tenderness
To lose her faith to wilt to bleed to die
But by the love of the mercy of God and
The miracle of Faith the rose caught in
The angry tempest of the tremendous torrent
Rises up majestically and dares the huge
Obstacles arraigned against her to test her
Unshakable belief in the power of love and
Kindness or retreat in humiliated defeat
The rose caught in the raging whirlwind pulls
Herself up many times after each bold attempt
Is made to crush her against the steep hanging
Cliffs and she refuses to die in the degradation
Of the humiliating dirt of the unclean mud
Oh send your prayers to the Heaven that protects
The brave rose that refused to surrender to the
Huge obstacles placed in her way and did not die
Pray for the soul of the valiant little rose and
God will bless you and your own love life
Will blossom and will not wilt and bleed and die
Send your happy sympathies and joyous celebrations
And beautiful flowers to the rose that refused to
Give up when all seemed futile and hopeless and
The spirit of the brave rose shall seep into your
Soul and fortify your spirit and make you strong
