Petal and Thorn Lyrics

I watch those lines multiply

See the shine begin to fade

As your crown turns to grey

The turn of time takes away

And when the dust claims your name

And my age forgets your face

I'll promise then as now

To hold you precious in my heart

My love is for you

More than any word could say

More than any stones display

My love is with you

In spite of how life deals with us

No bitterness shall stay with me

The seasons shared with you were like a bittersweet rose

With petal and thorn, marked with beauty and pain

Hopes and dreams wilted or grown

A crooked bloom of grace

What a gift you gave to me

Living life by your side

Such privilege to be

One step behind, a breath away

My tears flowed with yours

Joining to your pools below

Hidden deep within my soul

My joys shine from you

Like the moon reflecting sun

Filled with hope beyond this life

I know one day I'll follow through

And enter that same door

To join you all once again

And never leave you anymore
