One day a rose of rare beauty would grow <br />This rose tho' rare the whole world would know <br />It was given for all it's beauty to behold <br />This great rose of Sharon so long ago foretold <br />This rose brought salvation to those who believe <br />It's beauty brought love and healing for disease <br />It came to bring light to a dark world of sin <br />It came to bring glory and hope deep within <br />No flower would bloom with the beauty of this rose <br />It's beauty so rare so special to behold <br />It came forth from the thorns and touched deep the soul <br />This sweet rose of Sharon will never grow old <br />It will always bring beauty for it came with a cost <br />It came for a purpose to save all who were lost<br /><br />Brenda Whitlock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-rose-still-grows/
