I smell a rose in the melody
of freedom and hope.

Cell Time

As I sit in my cell, I wonder.
I wonder about my future,
about what God will bring me.
As I sit in my cell, time goes by.

When I think about the melody of love
and what God brings me,
it feels like a butterfly
flying with freedom.
I smell a rose in the melody
of freedom and hope.

As I sit in my cell,
everything smells like
the rose of freedom.
Freedom moves in and out
of the melody of love.

I always wonder
about the melody of love,
as the butterfly flies
in the air of hope,
freedom, love, and understanding.

I pray for our freedom
with hope, with love,
with the rose and melody
that God gives.

I havenโ€™t written to you in a while.

Your friend,
Lee Roy
