~ ROSE AT THE DOOR ~

A rose at the doorstep
"Who left this rose for me?
I don't see anyone
Just who could it be?"

Who went into my yard
And picked a pretty rose
I have a garden full of them
Heaven only knows



But this one lays at my front door
This pretty red rose I found
It didn't just get there by itself
But, not one person is around

And then I hear a giggle
By the side of the house
Oh, she tried to be so quiet
As quiet as a mouse



Running to me, smiling,
"I did Mommy, I picked that rose for you"
I didn't let on ....
I already knew

A yard full of roses I had
I could pick roses everyday
But this one was different
So, I put it away



Between pages of a book
this rose I gently pressed
Because you see ....
It would always be more special
than all the rest

I look at that rose with tears in my eyes
She's not a little girl anymore
And I remember the day
I found this rose at the door
