An Angel Was She

Oh an Angel so sweet
I met one winter day
She lyed a kiss upon my lips
and I begged her to stay

Oh an Angel so beautiful
that I would hope to see her everyday
She left me for another
one more kinder than I

Oh an Angel so honest
that she tried to make amends
Foolish was I, that I shoved her away
Never to see what might have been

An angel, was she
and the devil, was I
she flew away like a bird
while I lay here to die

Dear St. Nicholas

Dear my jolly old St. Nicholas
lend your ear my way
I hope you're safe this Christmas
and you won't bring dismay.

As you load up your sleigh
with toys for children and adults alike
I hope that you stay warm tonight
as you bring joy to thousands alike

So be safe tonight and come back home
put up your boots and your big red coat
Take a nap from your hard days work
sincerely yours, your little grace note

Withered Rose

A rose I used to hold so dearly
cherishing it where ever I see
but why didn't I see it clearly?
How soon the rose did bloom

A rose I grew on such occasion
and gave it to her
As beautiful as any painting
she accepted it without hesitation

A rose that was blossoming
do you want to reminisce with me?
I nourished this rose every day
but it was too much for her to see

A rose that was slowly dying
but I ran out of water
I can't seem to get it off the ground
is this how it will decay?
