I’ll leave a rose for my family for stories still untold. For standing beside me when life got so cold.
I’ll leave a rose for my friends. I have met along the way, who held my hand and picked me up when not knowing what to say.
I’ll leave a rose for the stranger who will pick up a petal or two. Who possibly I inspired when not knowing what to do.
I’ll leave a rose for my children with love forever in my heart. So they know how much I love them if we are ever apart.
I’ll leave a rose for my Jesus for holding my hand all the way. For guiding each step and word, and the promise of a brighter day.
These rose are for tomorrow and my whole life though. Each petal has a name on it, those petals of my love for each of you.
