Poem | Rose of Sharon | Remya David

? Rose of Sharon ?

I am alone among crowd
Searching for a shoulder to lean on
I hate the resemblance in the smile of world
That stares at me like traitor
Where shall I find the Rose of Sharon??
To complete the aim of my life

I was late to know the truth that
Life is incomplete without Him
I know the distance of my goal
And the closeness of our hearts
I stepped out to reach Him on my way
Where shall I find the Rose of Sharon??

I missed the sweetness of His care
And it causes soreness in my soul
My feelings were left alone somewhere-
It makes me go on crying
I looked around again with tears
Where shall I find the Rose of Sharon??

I was ignored of this great agape
And was sure of His care
I was tired of my wandering
I missed my rest on His shoulder
Where shall I find the Rose of Sharon??

Trees smiled at me beside the path
Chilly wind cooled me beneath the tree
I carried on my journey to find Him
And ended it beneath the cross
I closed my eyes for a while
A tender hug made my eyes open
Here I found my Rose of Sharon…
