The Mystery Rose, a Love Gift From Beyond
The Mystery Rose, A Love Gift From Beyond
A dark, dark shadow crept into my room at night
a mist or vapor that so set me ill at ease
Strange that my confusion so limited my fright
then it moved things around as it pleased
Soon began eerie sounds that loudly cracked
next my bows fell from their hanging rack
Suspended in hazy fog or time it did so seem
motionless and quite unable to shout a scream
As I finally jumped out of my now shaking bed
I tripped and fell hitting my frightened head
Early morn I woke, to my great and epic shock
a wilted flower lay upon my antique clock
A long and so very dry ancient red, red rose
yet a fragrance still so strong hit my nose!
A mere dream that had been my horror to have had!
except red rose was always favored by my dad
Three decades gone since he had sadly passed away
I know that red rose was his love gift sent my way!
