David Boyce - A Tender Rose

A Tender Rose


From a little thing
Your body grows
With inner love
To a tender rose

From deep within
Love blossoms out
Like a tender rose
There is no doubt

A soul deep within
As tough as metal
But skin so soft
Like a roses petal

Like a summer bloom
Your true colour shows
Different in many ways
Like a tender rose

When your body fails
And strength begins to go
Beauty starts to wilt
Like a tender rose

When a person dies
Their soul re-grows
Like a fallen bud
From a tender rose
