65 Roses

I met you when you were just a child
They said you’d be leaving in a little while
It wasn’t an easy life you had
Why’d you have to have it so bad
I saw you dream and saw you keep the faith
You should’ve been cryin' but you smiled with grace
You had courage to understand
Momma was holding your hand,
And Daddy was holding your hand
Tender flower so weak so strong
Full of life I wish it could’ve been longer
Sweet angel we miss you now
You taught what hope is
With 65 Roses
Every breath was a gift you gave
Only love, only love remains
You gave sorrow another name
Compassion, a prayer and a song
Your spirit will always live on
