Strength        written by  Barry Parker  -- 30/11/2004

You are like a rose growing beside the motorway
Surviving the harsh conditions, getting stronger day by day
You are a multi-coloured rainbow gleaming through the rain
Beating away grey clouds
You call to me like the peel of church bells to Sunday worshipers
You light my path home like a welcome beacon in the dark
You are all these things and more
Because you gave life to our children
They are our hope and sanity in this confused world i have unleashed upon us
I will strive to be as stronger person as you are
