Lady in the Scarlet Dress

There was a farm
I used to visit there
The lady of the house
Made the sweetest things
Of crisp golden brown

On a few acres of land
Tended with the loving care
In her scarlet dress

Gather herbs in the garden
For the early morning guest
Memories enough to go around
And more for the rest

Its not there anymore
A long time ago

On the hill above
Looking out
Where it once stood
With the heart's memories
Distressed

You can see
What use to be
The happiness sounds
Aroma's of love
That were prepare

I miss that lady
In the scarlet dress

The Last Garden Flower

Last flower in the garden
I’ll be with you to stay
You are left here all alone
The others have faded away

The season has come to an end
Nights are getting colder
Sun light has dimmed

Place your burden on my shoulder
Surrounding fragrance is gone
Greenery is turning brown
If you want to sleep

You may lay your head down
I feel sadness by your bed
The loss of color in your blossom

You are the last flower
As summer heads into autumn
It has grown darker
I look back to the those days
When it was full of life

Under the sunshine rays
Sleep my friend
It's getting late
The last flower in the garden

I'll gently close the gate...
