We’d hoped to see those roses very soon

We ‘d  hoped to see the rose gardens in June
But on the 1st he died and travelled on
We  both enjoyed   the roses in  full  bloom

We used the dark to see the stars and moon
But by the 1st  I found that he was gone
We hoped to see the rose gardens in June

As  I tell,  this death arrived  too soon
And  took away  the  life of   a  dear man
We  wished to see the  flowers in full bloom

As he  lay, I sang  remembered  psalms
I  knew before the doctors he was gone
We meant to see the rose gardens in June

Then  there with me he  re-encountered calm
I had not gone there with a plan
We  longed to see the  flowers’  enchanting blooms

May was cold and bitter with alarm
That was when he fell , yet was unarmed.
We’d  hoped to see  those roses  very soon
We    love the  scent of roses in full bloom
