ROSE
She danced around the garden
as the winds blew thru the trees.
Just like a little girl who
lives though her day-dreams
One day she knows she’ll be all grown up
and this garden may be gone.
Longing to be that special one
on someone's arm she'll adorn
She wonders if she’ll be chosen
to brighten a quiet moment
Or when he says, “I do”,
will she be the one to compliment
All the wondering & all her dreaming
Could never replace this moment in time
The quietness of the night falling
Stars shining, that which are sublime.
The wind whispers calling her back home
Through the garden she prances
By the thunder of a nearby storm.
Guarded carefully by the gentlest hands
On a special day to be chosen
Hoping she'll bring a smile
With a bouquet of Roses...
