In the Rose Garden


In the rose garden I will be

Here where I watch from afar

As he silently walks over

Here are roses no thug would mar

 

Their petals glisten and shimmer

Carefully watching me, us

He picked a rose, looking at me

He on bent-knee, I said yes Russ

 

Audience of roses sighed

The bright sun began to set

Exhaling breaths we all kept in

So glad that I lost my bet
