The Rose Of Our Hearts

As I sit and watch my roses grow
We lost the most beautiful love, I know.
She was the rose of our hearts and lives
now the tears flow as we say our goodbyes.

3 months she's been gone away
but it seems like it was yesterday.
I still don't know how to live my life
nor does my father without his wife.

My mind it stays in shambles
as my mouth it always rambles.
Now my life never seems make any sense
the death of our rose makes my heart so tense.

One day I know this pain will ease
but until then, our rose is all my heart sees.
She was the most wonderful rose
that's all my heart really knows.

She planted a rose for each child she had
to think of it now it makes me very sad.
To think of how she loved us all
and how she had to die this fall.

But a few months before she died
her rose for Terry she planted outside.
On his birthday she found it in full bloom
she was so excited, it took away some of her gloom.

You see my brother has been dead for years
and his death brought my mother so many tears.
But on that day she had to show us all
little did we know she would join him in early fall.

So the Rose of our hearts is gone
now we all feel so all alone.
But until we see her in heaven one day
we'll send a rose and our love her way.
