He spoke of the first rose that

bloomed in the spring

And how she cared for it

when there was no rain

He told how the fragrance

of the flowers

How she made her Bible marker

from the first one that bloomed

Verse 3

He said of all the memories that I now hold

My favorite is her marker, the faded pressed rose
