Eyes that see beyond the garden
gentle hands that pick the thorns
Soft yet strong he stands there waiting
for the earth to make her claim

Words filled with faith to the seed he whispers
and from this faith new hope is born
My love grow up and be a woman
do what you must to earn your name

Let the flower fully blossom
give it time and watch her grow
Now that the seed is firmly planted
take from the sun, drink from the rain

Stand proud and tall, don't be trampled
bend with the wind, stand up again
Don't let them pluck you or destroy you
Your purpose in life do not defeat

Take from the dew in the early morning
let the peace from the night soften your sleep
He looks once more in satisfaction
then he slowly turns to go-

But the man returns for the unveiling
for he's watched her grow from day to day
And as the rose stands there so lonely
the gardener hears her whisper low...

Now that the world has seen my beauty
will you care no more and let me go?

*sigh* gosh this is so very beautiful. The vision of love growing to only desire to be set free. I don't know if I should weep for the gardener or smile for the rose. *sigh* wonderful read. Much love and hugs to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.
