Withered

Seems like just yesterday when we laughed and play,

Your words and snacks they both taste sweetly the same.

The woolen clothes you've spun we played with them in the hay,

And the flowers that you've kept earned you a fame.

But now the Rose has withered.

What would your sweet flowers do?

It's gonna be a long lone winter,

Without you here

Why wouldn't we shed a tear?

Reached home for christmas and everything has changed,

You weren't there to greet and hold me tight.

The whole house seems empty without you here and it's strange,

Even the light in the star didn't shine bright.

'Cause now the Rose has withered.

What would your sweet flowers do?

It's gonna be a long lone winter,

Without you here

Why wouldn't we shed a tear??

Hope we'll meet there by the Saviour's side

When our work here is done.

Until then the Lord will provide and guide,

And give us the strength to carry on.
