In honor of these things.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �In honor of every rose
� � � � � � � � � � � � �The dark, the sweet, and fair
� � � � � � � � � � � �In honor of all hidden diamonds
� � � � � � � � � � � � � B'neath heaven's crystal stairs

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � �In honor of all tears
� � � � � � � � � � � � � �Wasted on the fiends
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � Who stole and broke
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � The gentler hearts
� � � � � � � � � � � �With cursing and cruel schemes

� � � � � � � � � � � In honor of my heart
� � � � � � � � � �Which feels so very dead
� � � � � � � � � � � � Or maybe it cried
� � � � � � � � � � � Itself to sleep
� � � � � � � � �And now only only lies in bed

� � � � � � � � � � � �In honor of these sad things
� � � � � � � � � � � � I pray that this be read
� � � � � � � � � � And soften some hardened heart
� � � � � � � � � � � Or enlighten a disdainful head

Ah yes, the places hearts of a gentler
variety have seen, the way they are stolen
by unkindness. It takes great strength to remain
who we were, and scars left behind are the proof.
Beautiful writing...
