Let Me Be
Let me be that rose, that The Lord God, Himself ordained me to be. I must be that rose, that
gives the sweet smelling fragrance of hope to the downtrodden and the forgotten. I need to
be the sweet fragrance of love to the hateful. I shall be that sweet fragrance of peace to the
violent and the warmonger.
I will be the wonderous frangrance of truth to the liar. I must also be the sweet smelling
fragrance of courage to the cowardly. Yes, I will even be the sweet fragrance of
frankincense that was plucked from the resin of The African Trees, of strength to the
weakling. I really really need to be that rose, who's fragrance will cause the dissipation of
doubt and disbelief to overcome the impossible.
I wonna be that rose for all living, that breathes the sweet breath of life that inspires the
belief"I Can!" Can I be that radiant brown sweet smelling fragrant rose, that causes the
blind to behold the life of light as their sight? I must become that precious rose that will
sacrafice his place upon the bush that came from "The Rose Of Sharon" vine, that all may
know the perpetuating purpose of my life.
I hope to become that rose that shall bridge the gap of all our precious children hearts back
to the hearts of the fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, and God
Almighty. For "I Am That I Am," ordained me to be a brown rose, in the troublesome garden
of life, before I returne to my vine which I was plucked from. So, Please Let Me Be
That "Brown Rose."
