To a Rose

	God made us lovely orchids As everybody knows I do not need the orchids For me He made a Rose.
	At sweet sixteen I met her My girl with golden hair The girl I dreamed to marry some day Taught me to walk on air.
	Years may come and years depart It's hard to contemplate My lovely teenage sweetheart Is a lovely eighty-eight.
...................................................	Our years have gone full circle And are coming to a close I had the rare good fortune To spend them all with Rose. Earl June 16, 1998 70th Anniversary
