Through a crack in the sidewalk,
In the midst of urban decay,
A rose stood like an orator,
With a message that seemed to say:

“If the weight of earth’s problems
like concrete,
Threatens to hold you down;
If the way iz dark, and you’re all
alone,
With not a friend to be found;
There iz a Power to lift every burden,
And a Light to show you the way;
There iz One who will never forsake you,
Look up, trust in God, and pray.”
