There stands a rose, down in your garden. You left it there, so all alone. It's been neglected, feels unwanted Since no love to it is shown. Its beauty now, is fastly fading. Once it was, the brightest red. It's withering fast, its head is bowing Since no kind words, to it are said Please don't neglect the rose in your garden. Show it your love, every day. It will bloom for you in all its beauty. And it will not, fade away. I guess by now, you know my story. Don't neglect, a love that's true For it may prove to be, the sweetest flower. That will never, bloom for you. It could be your a mother, sister or brother. A husband wife, or little child. Or it may be, your own true lover. You've neglected, all the while. Please don't neglect the rose in your garden. Show it your love, every day. And it will bloom for you in all its beauty. And it will not, fade away.
