The Winter Rose

The Winter Rose
　
You tell me that you are so sad and depressed
You can close your eyes but you can get no rest
　
You say that you haven’t slept in days
That night after night you just lay awake
　
Lay your precious head in winter’s sleep
The snow is really piling up it’s knee deep
　
The North wind through the tree’s it roars
How you wish your broken heart could soar
　
You say that with every day a little more hope is dying
But it’s good to know that you haven’t given up trying
　
Dont allow your hopes to be buried by the winter white
Bring your dreams fourth and into the promising light
　
As the cold winter’s evening turns to the darkness night
You have a candle on your window sill burning bright
　
You feel the candle brings the spirit closer to you
Upon every night you say your scared prayers too
　
When you wake your head is buried under the covers
You have been scorned by all of your past lovers
　
Let me bandage your broken and bleeding heart
Hopefully allowing you to make a brand new start
　
There’s always hope for a better new tomorrow
A brilliant ending to all of your tears of sorrow
　
Don’t allow your dreams to simply go out to sea
Close your eyes, make a wish and try to believe
　
Last year you planted a seed of love beneth the frost
Now you can see the beauty and imagine all is not lost
　
The winter rose almost consumed by the bitter snow
Yet still she retains the resilency to bloom and grow

Her fragile beauty goes beyond compare
How you wish you could live without a care

One day the morning sun will come up just for you
And you’ll find that all of your dreams come true
