Rosebud

Rosebud, rosebud soft and sweet Why were you created for this world to meet with no one to love or care for you Only to greet the mornings dew Before the sun before the light Only to awake during late night You of love the world of hate What can be your fate But your creator has not failed He gave you so gentle an armour of thorn To protect you from sadness and mourn but how can he protect you from age He can not put you in a cage For no one can be protected from that Soon age will come and you shall fade from memory and that will be that. Yet how can anyone forget your lovely face Would be a sad and different place But times change and years pass Faded forever more into the grass
