Rose
Just last evening, I met a lost girlWho's troubles in life
Encompass her whole world
To the point where she's ready
To give up the fight.
I want to give her some lasting hope
So that she'll see that she's not
At the end of her rope
And hopefully she'll wish to
Stand up and go on with life.
I hate to see someone so very young
With so much potential
Reach for a gun
Thinking the only way out
Is to take their own life.
I hope to make this young girl see
That it is possible for her to be happy
And to have hopes and dreams
That can last for the rest of her life.
I know reading this poem
Won't stop her troubles from growing
But hopefully she'll see that
There are people who'll help her in life.
If she needs someone to listen
Or a shoulder to cry on
I'll stay up with her
Well into the night.
And when the morning comes
And the Sun's in the sky
I hope she'll be able
To look me in the eye
And smile and say
"I think I'll take another shot at life".
