Description
As I think of the past and all the roses you gave,
As I watch a butterfly or bee getting pollen,
It was in the summertime when you wilted away.
I remember your faded beauty and fragrance.
I miss you, rose, more and more every day
soon summer will give way to fall and winter
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember your faded beauty.
I rewrote the words to the song Faded Love that was recorded by so many artists and is the state country western song of Oklahoma in recognition of the Wills family and their contribution to country music
I took this last night hand held.I knew with our 108+- F. temperatures it would be wilted before 12 noon
thanks so much for your support and any comments
