Sometimes you realize that you feel a certain way when you see someone, and you never tell them. I wrote this song to tell someone. I first shared it on Friday, February 16, 2024. Rose was in the hospital, and her daughter played it for her the day that I sent it. I deeply hope she heard it.
Our beloved friend Rose passed away just a few days later. I will miss her very, very much and I know that I will see her at certain events, just out of the corner of my eye, forevermore.

That blooms in summer’s warm
She’s soft as pussy willow,
As fierce as any storm.
Her heart’s large as forest
Her smile melts winter’s cold
Her hair reflects the autumn trees
And the hearty marigold.
Our Rose ever blooming our rose
Clever as the raven
As busy as the bee
Looking out for everyone,
A soul of quality.
There are many ways of being
In this big world I suppose.
Wish all were as generous
As our Lady Rose.
Her soul glows like the blossom
That blooms in summer’s warm
She’s soft as pussy willow,
As fierce as any storm.
Her heart’s large as forest
Her smile melts winter’s cold
Her hair reflects the autumn trees
And the hearty marigold.
The rose is never fragile,
It’s lovely but its thorn
Is ever at the ready
For any who would scorn
A person who is needy
for kindness or for aid,
The lowest in spirit
Find their temper swayed.
She carries bread and cookies,
Of lemons and fine flour,
Her joy in hospitality
Perhaps her greatest power.
The gifts that she delivers
Are affection manifest.
Her love is never ending,
We Are well and truly blessed.
Her soul glows like the blossom
That blooms in summer’s warm
She’s soft as pussy willow,
As fierce as any storm.
Her heart’s large as forest
Her smile melts winter’s cold
Her hair reflects the autumn trees
And the hearty marigold.
Our Rose
Her love is never ending
Our Rose is a garden ever tending
Our Rose
