THE ROSE THAT WAS NOT THERE

         I Had A Dream A Month Ago
             That Love Would Find My Heart
              But I Didn't Know Where To Go
                Or Imagine Where To Start

            I Sat And Pondered, Often Wondered
                   If It Would Come True
            I hoped And Prayed That It's Today
                 The Day I Could Find You

           I Searched The Meadows High And Low
                     Trying To Find A Clue
               When Off In Yonder There It Stood
                 A Rose That Looked Like You

                Now I Had Seen This Rose Before
                  Alone In A Field Of Green
                 And When I Reach To Pick It
                  This Rose Became Unseen

              I Turned Around And Walked Away
                  But Gave It One Last Stare
               And For A moment Almost Had It
The Rose That Was Not There
