Yellow Rose Of Texas In Bloom by Terrie*

You took me from the seed that I was
You held me close to your heart
watched me bloom into a delicate rose
As a result of your endless love

I was the envy of the wife’s of your friends
They couldn’t understand
How I could relate or comprehend a mans life

Your friends hearts ,I held in my hands
As they always came to spill their hearts in confidence
A mediator I was not
But I knew how, not to hold love
and how to give love

That was the difference between them
and you and I
Our space was a gift
We gave and shared with one another
together and apart

Together forever you and I, you would always say
spendin' my moments with you
i always looked forward prayin' it wasn't your last day

Now here to day ,As I look back
as I sat there holdin’ your hand
It was the reunion we both sooo looked forward to
Amazin’ what the touch of love could do
I know deep in my heart, I simply caint live ,if I didn’t have you

I’ll simply exist as a shell with out a heart
My heart with out a beat, Caint survive with out the taste of your love
The only sweet love, I have ever tasted or known
now i feel so all alone

For the past several days I have
watched your life slowly drift away

my rose petals started fallin’ apart at the same time
A heart full of thorns, Was what was left

The tears became thick, As my blood was getting’ thin
I turned away to numb my soul
the most unselfish thing I cain think of
is placin’ your life in Gods hands ,as he placed me in yours

Yet in my heart ,I know what i want
To nurture my heart back , and have our rose bloom once again
for you and i

but now, this isn't about me any more, this is about you

my love will always be for you !

old write..readin' them provides me traquil , soothin' moments..that i would never trade in a heart beat.. i still feel his touch..( i was his yellow rose of Texas )
