I Planted a Rose

I planted a rose in the garden today Its petals were tired and worn My beautiful rose has seen better days But today it will cause me to mourn Wrinkled an wilted its stem can't stand I carried it where ever I went The sun gave it strength and the rain gave it joy Though its better days were already spent Its beauty and grace were unmatched in its day People couldn't help but stare It held to my hand every where I'd go There was nothing that we didn't share All the other flowers couldn't get my attention No matter how hard they tried For my eyes were made to look at my rose Rose is the name of my bride I planted a rose in the garden today Its petals were tired and worn My beautiful rose has seen better days But today it will cause me to mourn
