Rose In the Shadows

I sit here wondering in the dark Will I ever have that spark The one that makes your eyes shine As you caress the velvet petals so For they are so beautiful you see With the sun shining so brightly The look so perfect and so pure Full of blossom and serenity I sit here with in the shadows Withered petals and so small Who would ever want me at all No one will ever want one so broken You pass by and with just one glance Without hesitation you say at last This is the one mommy the one I seek The flower I will forever keep "Why," the mother then replies "The thorns are gone and the stem is broken ?" To my astonishment the boy then replies To anyone who can comprehend " Just like me my legs were not made so perfectly In these braces they may forever stay They are just as god wanted them So perfectly " I may not be made just right To anyone who glances at first sight That's why just like me The rose in the shadows Is the perfect rose for me
