A Dozen Red Roses

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
A dozen red roses And a simple bouquet Arrived at the church On her wedding day The bridesmaids gather 'round her Last details done But a dozen red roses Who could they be from The moment was close now The church filled with light She stood like a picture In a glow of white. All her friends awaiting The music softly playing Yet, she reached for the roses On the table where they lay. Then from the roses She picked up an envelope Her hand was guided by her heart And for every rose A single teardrop fell As she lifted her veil and slowly read the card: "You're in your room sleeping As I write these words I know you won't read them Till years from now" "God will call me home soon I'll miss you're wedding day, So your mom will keep This note to send With a rose bouquet" "So take one of these roses To hold in your hand And I'll be beside you, As Always, Love Dad"
