She stood at the alter <br />A gown of white she did wear <br />With a bouquet of red roses <br />And blue ribbons in her hair <br />She waited for someone <br />Who was never to come <br /> <br />Tears leaked from her eyes <br />Across her cheeks did run <br />The bouquet of red roses <br />For her wedding day <br />Have all now faded <br />As time slipped away <br /> <br />Those faded red roses <br />She still holds in her hand <br />Years have come and gone <br />Waiting for this man <br />You’ll still find her <br />With tears in her eyes <br /> <br />As the hopes he’ll still come <br />Fade like the roses <br />Washed too much by the sun <br />Today she still waits all alone <br />Those faded red roses in her hand <br />Is now all that she owns<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faded-red-roses/
