WHITE THE ROSE White the rose that adorns my grave, the petals soft and pure as the snow. So still the air, so blue the sky - and yet here I lie...here I lie. I didn't want to die. White the rose that with memories linger of passion's promise left to God's will. Gone the love once so honestly given, now here I lie...here I lie. I didn't want to die. White the rose in bridal bouquet, add the touch of lavender grace. You were mine for just a moment, time to leave, to say goodbye. I didn't want to die. White the rose in summer's glory, long-stemmed beauty, yet with thorn. Cutting deep into my soul and spirit Never to see another blissful morn. I didn't want to die. White the rose, the life has ended. Summer's glory has faded away. Memory fades as do the petals, long gone the bridal bouquet. I didn't want to die. White the rose that adorns my grave, the petals soft and pure as the snow. So still the air, so blue the sky - and yet here I lie...here I lie. I didn't want to die. Countrymom 2/6/2010 |
