A Fallen Rose
The young girl walking through the streets
Thinking back on all of her defeats.
She recalled all the screams and tears,
Remembering again all of her fears.
Remembering the times she couldn’t prevail
Trying and trying, always to fail.
She, her town, her family despised
Seemingly always plotting her demise.
She always dreamt of a better life
One lacking all of her many strife’s
Her tears fell, thinking of her long lost love
One who was comparable to a dove.
Then in the streets she saw a boy lying
He left his mother, there she was crying
She screamed, she wept and prayed
Asking God’s help, hoping he’d stayed.
The young girl ran after the child
Though it was hard, for he was quite wild
Fretfully so, he was too fast, too far ahead,
For when she caught up the boy lay dead.
For not watching while he ran across tar
He was battered by a fast flying car
As she carried him home she heard the bells
Signaling to her she was truly in hell.
She, the bearer of deaths mortal hold
The child’s pale skin was not yet cold.
His mother was silently weeping
For his soul she was no longer keeping.
His mother toward her, emitted a hiss
While giving her sweet baby one last kiss.
From the young girl only one tear would fall
No longer could she stand straight and tall.
To her a decision had to be made,
To her, a debt must surely be paid.
She walked to the vender and stood on her toes
For her self she bought a beautiful red rose.
From up in the sky came down white snow
Now it is time the young girl does know.
As she lay down she said a soft prayer
Knowing in Heaven Jesus would care.
The young girl fell asleep on the dark street
Knowing at last, the world, she did defeat.
