Lyrics

Imagine a garden of beautiful Roses
With Wildflowers grown on the way
Watch as the Care-taker tenderly touches
And listen to what He might say
“I have given you love, but for a season 
For no other reason than this 
To capture the beauty that you’re giving to me.”
As He cuts the Rose with a kiss

And the Rose never cried
But the Wildflower wondered
Why the Rose had to die
Before all the others
The Care-taker truly had taken the beauty
That was there in his eye to behold
But the Wildflower’s question demanded more answer than “That’s just the way for the Rose.”

Now imagine a garden with no Roses blooming
And Wildflowers still on the way
Watch as the Care-taker tenderly touches
And listen to what He might say
“I have given you love, for more than a season 
And you’ll see the reason as this 
I cherish the beauty you keep giving to me.”
As gently He gives me a kiss

And the Wildflower cried
But no longer wondered
Why the Rose had to die
Before all the others
The Care-taker truly created the beauty
That was there in his eye to behold
And Wildflower’s joy was in knowing the answer was
“That’s just the way for the Rose.”

I loved this song the first time I heard it. The day I leave this world, this song will be played, because this song reminds me of my mother and sister, they both died 10 years ago, their death happened so closely together, losing one close family is bad, but losing two was devastating. This song reminds me of how I felt...of how I feel now. I'm a wildflower and I'm learning why they had to be picked, each day. Thank you Tommy, I just don't understand why it's the last song on your list, it's beautiful and you're a beautiful person, God bless you.
