I asked Jesus for a rose garden, but I forgot to mention to omit the thorns. Now I’m wading through a sea of flowers with my clothes and skin hopelessly torn.

Please, don’t take away my dream. I know that it may seem like it’s not very much at all but it’s all that’s left of me. So please, don’t take away my song. I’ll sing it all day long and hold on to the words at truth even if I’m wrong. I know there will be a brighter tomorrow that will transcend my... Sign in to see full entry.
