God's White Rose ~ Story

The delicate perfection
can be seen by all
as she walks all alone
in the monastery halls

She was only eighteen
when she fell in love
with a young man
chosen from above

They met quite by chance
It was love at first sight
It stirred his feelings
Caused quite a plight

He was a man of God
What was he to do
His mind, all confused
With feelings all so new

He paced the floor for days
Then he was found dead
A white rose beside him
And a good-bye note on his bed

Now Rose is so overcome
with hurt and unbelief
Tears streaming to no end
What can she do with her grief

I cannot live without him
I've made up my mind
He was the only man for me
He was one of a kind

The monks see her often now
In her long white gown
She looks for him still
while appearing all around

There is a certain sadness
You can see in her blue eyes
She still has a loneliness
As she waits for his reply

The monks pray for her soul
They see her where ever she goes
Now and then they shed a tear
as they pray for *God's White Rose*
