Yellow Rose








Roses ~N~ Ribbions



















SultryRose's Signatures






YELLOW ROSE

Your gift to me was "wildflowers or roses",

You picked wildflowers on our "country rides".

You bought roses of every color, and hue,

They were always my "big surprise".

 

 

Devotion, to us, meant the yellow rose,

And "Devoted to you" is my song.

You have been gone from me,

O, so many years,

Yet, to you, I still belong.

 

Thirty years rush by in my memory,

And I'm standing next to you,

Holding one yellow rose each, our daughters, dear,

Witness the vows between us two.

 

Cling to each other, forever, we said,

And strive forever to be,

That soft place to fall, and get away from it all,

You were that, and so much more to me.

 

Together, we shared all the love we could hold,

Our cup filled us up, from the start,

Spilling over, my love, to our family and friends,

This love we shared from our hearts.

 

O, we had our share of gladness and sorrows,

We both had burdens to bear,

We shared them together, and all our tomorrows,

Were joyful, for you were still there.

 

Devoted to each other, forever, my love

We meant that with all of our hearts.

The Lord had other plans, and your illness still stands

As what finally pulled us apart.

 

 

 

 

Jesus called you home, He could not be denied,

And when He called you, He took my heart,

Yet a yellow rose still reminds me that

We are not that far apart.

 

Just one heart beat away,

 I will stay~~~ till the day,

Jesus calls me to join you and Him,

Yellow roses will grace that most Heavenly Place

And Devotion will be our Anthem.
