Defeated Flower Surrenders to Love

“Love me,” she says

“Love me,” she fights for

“Love me,” she lives for

One by one, the petals fall and color fades

One bold petal remains strongly determined to win

It tugs and pulls for recognition, cries out for the loved heart

“I love you,” it says

“I love you,” it fights for

“I love you,” it lives for

Defeated flower surrenders to love

One by one, rose buds appear and thorns crumble

New petals bloom into beautiful love and life

Bold color bleeds throughout every blossom

Until she freely says, “I am loved, I am loved,

I fight for my savior, I live for my savior, and I love him”
