A TEARDROP ON THE ROSE

A teardrop fell upon the rose


That she held close to her breast.


In sympathy, the petals closed,


As she saw her love at rest.The rose it seemed to feel her pain


As one by one her petals fell


And upon the stem of thorns,


Now fell the pouring rain.



Bending down, she picked the petals


And to herself, she drew them near;


She saw, in the rose, her broken heart


And on the petal, her fallen tear.



Between the pages of a book,


She placed the petals tenderly


And the rose, it shed a tear,


As if it cried in sympathy.



The words, on the pages read,


Forever, my love, remember me


And when you see a rose of red,


Remember, love, to remember me
