BROKEN KNEES

IN A PLACE OF VINE AND ROSES,
THE THORNS JUST OUT OF REACH.
PROTECTS US ALL FROM BLEEDING,
THE CUTS ARE WHAT THEY TEACH.
UNDULATING MOUNTAINS FOR CLIMBING,
HIGHER THEY MAKE THIER OWN WAY.
TO PLACES OUR CHILDREN ALL DREAM OF,
THE SPIRITS OF YOUTH ARE AT PLAY.
UP AND BEYOND THE ECHO IS DREAMED,
BRINGS US TO THE FORSAKEN AND BENT ON BROKEN KNEES.
I WILL NOT CHOOSE TO WIPE MY MIND,
OF ALL THAT YOU'VE BEGUN.
FOR AS A THEME IT'S BEAUTY RINGS,
FOR MY EARS NO SWEETER SONG IS SUNG.
I LOVE YOU NOW AND ALWAYS WILL,
ALLTHOUGH YOU CHOOSE TO LEAVE .
THE SILENCE DEAFENS MY ACHING HEART,
AND IT'S BEATING LOOSES IT'S BEAT.
ALL THOUGHTS WILL BE FOND WHEN THINKING OF YOU.
EVEN WHEN YOUR TESTING THE METAL.
BE SURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOMEONE GAVE LOVE,
AND THE LOVE FOR YOU WAS TRUE.
