One beautiful Saturday in August <br />When the leaves began to drop <br />From out in the lake came a cruiser <br />To anchor at Buckhorn Dock His smile was as broad as the Ocean <br />His chest was bare and brown <br />His eyes sparkled like diamonds <br />His friends he had found His pleasure was boating at Buckhorn <br />At noon day or at dark <br />A tragedy over took him <br />At fifteen till nine o'clock To show his love and affection <br />To his brother who had died <br />He placed One Thousand Roses <br />In a blanket by his side.<br /><br />Amanda Combs Feltner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-thousand-roses/
