ROSE GARDEN PROMISE<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I still love the rose frangrance yet,<\/font>
\n that you wore the first day we met. <\/font>
\n The bottle as a keepsake I kept <\/font>
\n as a reminder of you as I slept. <\/font><\/p>\n

You opened your heart as in my heart crept.<\/font>
\n Like dust before a Swiffer, you let yourself be swept. <\/font>
\n With an open heart you did accept. <\/font>
\n Now all this love for you I have kept. <\/font><\/p>\n

In the rose garden we promised <\/font>
\n In fidelity we would persist<\/font>
\n Since then we have been blessed and blissed<\/font>
\n With love and luck we have been kissed.<\/font><\/p>\n

Our garden beauty is more than sublime <\/font>
\n especially in the summertime <\/font>
\n when we enjoy a quiet suppertime (Flossie)<\/font>
\n and write about it in a rhyme.<\/font><\/p>\n
