The Rose Inside My Heart
I still recall that fateful day
My eyes met yours, you glanced my way;
I felt the rose inside my heart
Grow one more petal to display.
We shared a love so deep and true
Until that day we said “I do.”
I sensed the rose inside my heart
From red to redder still it grew.
When I was weak I found in you
The strength I needed to get through;
It seemed the rose inside my heart
Had found a rock to cling on to.
Now I alone gaze down upon
Your resting place since you’ve been gone;
Now, Love, this rose inside my heart
Has lost it’s petals one by one.
