My Sweet English Rose



My Sweet English Rose Brenda is her name

She was born in Norwich that is where she became

A lady ,of grace, poise, Witt and charm
 ,
All though in  the early days

She was a tomboy and would twist your arm

As the years go by she loses that way

She becomes a young lady more every day

Her body matured and shapes in the right place

She enters a beauty contest ,she still pure and chaste

Then to Australia  to find her fortune and fame

She had  mum, dad ,sister and brother came

They landed in Melbourne where i lived  as well

When i first spoke to her my heart did swell

I met her at the place we both worked for

She captivated me when she walked through the door

 I made up my mind to marry her that day

And was determined to get her to say ,yes i do

Oh  Bob! how much i love you too

We were married in December nineteen sixty five

At last i was living and feeling ,so --alive

Then we had our first born a son that gave us glee

A beautiful baby boy six pounds thirteen was he

Andrew is his name and to this day

We love and respect  him so, in every way

Then our second born came along and to us was a jewel

So we called her Julie she was so beautiful and cool

And our love for her will never go away

And we thank the lord for that fateful day


Now Forty years have past and Brenda and i have parted

Though we are not together i am not down hearted

I love her forever,, and will  till my dying day

Now our Lord  Has taken Her to his Kingdom,,  to stay
