Three Roses

Three Roses Three roses all in array Let me still capture while I may And try to remember another time When you were young and we were strong The roles we felt we had to play To help you blossom and not sway From the crueler winds that might bend you in a different way But you prevailed against the gales To be where you are today You keep on sprouting as we grow old Now you are strong because of love And now three roses have their buds 2001-2005-2008
