My eyes are open, I can plainly see,
The abundance of life, that surrounds
Me.
I shall never tire of the fragrance of the
Rose.
Emitting perfume from my garden where
The blossoms grow,
My heart be open, never to forget,
Moments of the past,
As to all my friends and family,
As above forever lasts.
Fill me up with mercy for the souls in need,
For the words that I may speak,
Compassion lies within my heart,
The abundance of life that is.
To be a part of me, that I be so meek.
That I not forget as to the fragrance of
the rose.
