5. Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

6. I left you in the morning,
And in the morning glow,
You walked a way beside me
To make me sad to go.
Do you know me in the
gloaming,
Gaunt and dusty gray with
roaming?
Are you dumb because you
know me not,
Or dumb because you know?
All for me And not a question
For the faded flowers gay
That could take me from
beside you
For the ages of a day?
They are yours, and be the
measure
Of their worth for you to
treasure,
The measure of the little while
That I've been long away.
