Leslie to Friend
Well, friend, I'll tell you:
Life for me hasn't been a beautiful rose.
It's had thorns in it,
And torn leaves,
And ripped petals,
And no colors
Empty.
But all the time
I have kept going,
And taking breaks,
And turning paths.
And sometimes no hope
Where there's no light.
So, friend, dont turn back.
Don't stop on the steps.
Because you find its kind of hard.
Don't fall now
I've kept going,
I've still been trying,
And life for me hasn't been a beautiful rose.
