Rosanna

Rosanna, bible in her hand
Took me through the dark days
Showed me another way
I hold her hand

Rosanna, praise the lord for me
Set me free
My thoughts were dark from the start
I wanted your soul

Rosanna, your words like you are true
The good book was made for you
The passion in your eyes
The love, there’s no disguise

Rosanna, I tried, glad I failed
You can’t beat God
I know that
Knew from the start

Rosanna, bible in her hand
God in her heart
Making a stand
I watch her, rifle in hand
God bless Rosanna.

Very intriguing there at the end. Not sure what to make of that. I enjoyed finding your poem today. Your name is so familiar to me but I can't remember commenting to you very recently.
