“Roses are like dreams

They all fall apart deep in

The meadows of one’s heart;

Catch a rose petal

it feels like silk

Hold on to it too long it may sometimes wilt

But hold onto your dreams

Even when you’re sad and blue

Hold onto it, hold onto it,

For you are my son,

I will always

Hold onto you”
