A Winter's Rose

Why is it that some are always learning
But never come to the knowledge of the truth?
And their ever open minds refuse to hear a reasonable offer
Humbly I extend the hope I have received
Careful not to pass judgment or impose my beliefs

But I can no longer apologize for what I hold
Most dear and with humility I attempt to live
My life with a sincerity that can bridge gaps
And know that by abstaining from things of this world
I am not condemning you but I'm choosing as you choose
To follow what I know to be true
