The Flowers in the Bible

The flowers in the bible

Her thoughts of yesterday

Pressed between the pages

So they couldn't fade away

Grandma would read us stories

From her bible every night

But she'd stop to smell the roses

That the pages held so tight

She'd always smile and close her eyes

As she traced the petal's form

Her mind would drift to things long passed

As her broken heart would warm

She'd tell us of a oak tree

Where Grandpa carved her name

The place where they got married

Where two hearts beat the same

He gave her on their wedding day

This rose she loves to touch

It takes her back to yesterday

To a man she loved so much

The day that Grandma passed away

And we laid her in the grave

We buried her with that bible

And the flowers that Grandpa gave
