The Flower (For Marge)

There is a flower that can be found
Rising up through rocky ground
Struggling to survive each day
Braving storms that come its way

The wind and rain may do their best
To put this flower to the test
It may wilt a bit, but then
The next day it will bloom again

Against the harshness of the land
This tiny flower will dare to stand
There before the whole world’s eyes
As if to say “I still will rise”

Like that flower you too will grow
Past the troubles you now know
The Lord above will shelter you
Giving strength to see you through

He’ll provide a loving light
Guiding you through darkest night
Beyond the tears and all the pain
In His care you will remain

When you feel you might give up
He’ll be there to fill your cup
With blessings only He can send
Like a warm hug from a friend

It may be hard but you’ll endure
Like that flower so small and pure
In the end we’ll hear from you
“It’s all okay ‘cause I’ll rise too”
