Roses For Carnations

Roses for Carnations

Everyone stood against them saying they were just too young.
Yet you couldn’t convince her of that, he was her only one.

He made her every dream come true, took care to treat her right.
One night he held a single rose as he asked her to be his wife.

From then on it was roses, since the night that he proposed.
They got married in Vegas, he took her far away from home.

Country girl and city boy, living happily ever after. Each with a role to fill to make sure that each one mattered.

Living a life in love, every precious moment felt.
Nothing could come between until the night fates hand was dealt.

A drunk driver going down the wrong side of the street.
A city boy hurrying home with roses in his seat.

He had some news to hear from his loving wife…
But he would never hear it now, the drunkard stole his life.


As tears streamed down her cheeks, they laid him in the ground, and instead of roses now, carnation blooms abound.


Everything in her life has turned to devastation and every single long stem rose has become a white carnation.
