Gather Ye The Rose

Go to the place where Magic grows, Call for the singer, and gather ye the rose. For heaven shines in fragile flowers, Throughout this loving world of ours. Don't fear for the morrow for nobody knows, This is the day to gather ye the rose. Did it seem like darkness just before the light did shine? Do you know the gladness that your good heart brings to mine? The tides of time and circumstance, Offers every heart a chance, To reap in laughter, what true love sows, Forever after gather ye the rose. Wasn't it a pleasure just to hold her in your hand? Beauty beyond measure, how can any understand? The hour will never be to late, That you can't appreciate, The beauty of the flower in its field, the splendid wonders Heaven has revealed, Standing there so very fair, Take the time and stop and care. Eternities a river and it flows, In only one direction, so gather ye the rose. The flower of forever does not die, It blooms anew each morning, and loves the reason why. Lightly falls the tender kiss, That leads unto a vow, All creation turns on this, so let it bless us now. In tender contimplation of the miracle I hold, I find my consolation as my life is turned to gold. The very stars will testify In the brilliant light that glows, A man needs not, a reason why, to gather ye the rose. Have I said to much? For love is such, I could go on til the very end of time. And still not write the lovely dream that I'm, Having though I must admit it shows, Come walk within her garden, and gather ye the rose..For Dragon lady for reading sooo MUCH of my work. Thank you so much darlin.(for t88 too) Written April 20th, 2002 © on Apr 20 2002 12:59 AM PST, Patric Patterson    0 • 8
