On petals of roses slid the rain drops after the storm It was so lonely and the winter cold badly stung All she wished for was another chance to be home While somewhere in the wild a seemingly sad Nightingale sung The variagated cloudy lining adjacent to a pink horizon Held so much promise that after her storm there'd be a rainbow That she would find her way out those concrete walls to liven And re-kindle the flame of her life and never stumble She had seen the roughest storms come and go Witnessed the birds in the wild struggle to survive She had thrown tantrums till time forced her to grow To the realization she'd eventually safely arrive To a promising destination, one filled with milk and honey No matter how rough the road was and length of the journey
