Can I Still Love My heart is like a rose Tightly rapped in history's petals Waiting to be warmed by the summer sun Waiting to taste the dew of sustenance that is love by any other name Waiting to be fed, To become free To blossom again And yet it is trapped by pain #life's secatours have cut hard and deep Providing enough hope of growth But not enough hope to flourish Shine, shine on me Strengthen the roots of my despair Nourish me with the hands of a mother Lift me to you and whisper to me inspiration So that I may unfurl and show the world I am still here I can still love
