Four Roses
To hear
The need to talk to you with nothing important to say
This feeling comes over me many times through out the day
To tell you how the day went or what's been on my mind
That I miss you, wish for you even after all this time
I pray to hear your voice, to hear you laugh once more
It's something I must imagine and often dream for
To see
I long to look upon you for you to stand in my sight
To see your loving smile so genuine and bright
To look into your eyes to see the beauty deep within
The curves of your face and the color of your skin
Can't feel the comfort of your look nor the power of your stare
All that is left are pictures, it just doesn't seem fair
To feel
I yearn to feel your touch and really have you here
To hold your hand, share a hug and simply have you near
To feel your warmth upon me, for your presence to be real
Sadly this won't happen and these wounds will not heal
I look to my memories and keep you in my heart
To remember how your love felt while we are apart
The dream
Heaven's where you wait for me, this I do believe
That on the day we meet again you'll remember me
To get me through the years and moments you're away
I'll keep you in my dreams and that is where you will stay
To get a glimpse of you, to keep your memory alive
You'll be the dream I have for the rest of my life
So I bring to you and set gently on your grave
Four roses as my promise. A promise to be brave
I promise to live, love, and laugh. To always stay true
I promise. Heaven's where I'll meet you
These four roses keep me going and here is what they mean
One to hear, one to see, one to feel, and one for the dream
