Though you are young and have years to grow,
There’s something my heart wants you to know.
All the things you do in life I’ll be there to share.
One white rose will let you know just how much I care.

At every special gathering, place a rose upon a seat for me,
Then look at it’s prefect petals for there I will be.
Though I won’t be there in body my spirit will attend.
My love and pride for you over everything will transcend.

When you say your vows to love and cherish I’ll be there too,
On a seat the rose will be to show my love for you.
A child will fill your life with deep content and untold love.
And the rose upon the seat will lay as the whitest dove.

You’ll always know I love you this I'm sure you'll see,
If you place a rose upon a seat to save it just for me.
Throughout your life one white rose will for me save a seat,
For wherever the rose is placed, there my heart will beat.
