A Rose, a Tear and a Prayer

I laid a rose upon her grave today After other mourners had walked away Of the love we shared we could not say I laid a rose upon her grave today I wept for her from a distant pew The nights we shared were a splendid few A sacred love only we both knew I wept for her from a distant pew I said goodbye in a silent prayer Of the love inside, she was aware She knew, for her, how much I care I said goodbye in a silent prayer

Oh such a perfect and poignant title for an expressive and heartbreaking write Joe. Beautiful melancholy laced lines gracefully tell the story of a deep and secret love shared by two but now lost forever. Endearing and enthralling, a deeply heartfelt write.. warmest wishes.. ~Susan
