My Yellow Rose

My yellow rose

Did I even know what it meant?

They say it represents-

Friendship, Joy, Gladness,

Sunshine, a new beginning,

And jealously;

I never knew it all,

But it was my sunshine;

Remember that funeral bouquet we delivered?

It was also yellow;

Wish I could recall it,

But not the funeral

Yellow roses, I always loved them,

Yellow roses, I love them still,

Yellow roses, I will always love them,

But I never thought I'd turned it towards the grave;

My yellow rose

I never imagined I'd lay it on your eternal cradle;

My yellow rose

You were my sunshine,

You still are;

Wherever you are

Wherever you may be;

I will  keep on laying yellow roses on your six feet under
