Her Beauty Shamed The Fairest Flower - By Randy Bowles I met her on a summer Sunday, Fell in love with her on Monday. Tuesday told me I had found my mate. Her red hair streamed down Past her hips. Strawberries paled next to her lips. To live a life together Seemed our fate. Her beauty shamed the fairest flower. A day with her felt like an hour. I couldn’t wait to be with her again. Her passion fed my heart’s fire. Her favor was my one desire. I could never find a better friend. For me she was the only one. I lay with her when day was done. We dreamed our dreams together Arm in arm. We thought we’d found unending joy. A village girl a country boy. We thought we were forever Safe from harm. Her beauty shamed The fairest flower. I built for her The finest bower. I caught for her the stars The sun the moon. Golden rings hung from her ear, Birdsong made her Shed a tear. Why did her passing Have to come so soon? My heart became an empty space, When shadows fell upon her face. And angels took her To her place of rest. Her beauty shamed the fairest flower. But death robbed her of all Her power. Creation lost the brightest And the best.
Her Beauty Shamed The Fairest Flower - By Randy Bowles
I met her on a summer Sunday,
Fell in love with her on Monday.
Tuesday told me
I had found my mate.
Her red hair streamed down
Past her hips.
Strawberries paled next to her lips.
To live a life together
Seemed our fate.
Her beauty shamed the fairest flower.
A day with her felt like an hour.
I couldn’t wait to be with her again.
Her passion fed my heart’s fire.
Her favor was my one desire.
I could never find a better friend.
For me she was the only one.
I lay with her when day was done.
We dreamed our dreams together
Arm in arm.
We thought we’d found unending joy.
A village girl a country boy.
We thought we were forever
Safe from harm.
Her beauty shamed
The fairest flower.
I built for her
The finest bower.
I caught for her the stars
The sun the moon.
Golden rings hung from her ear,
Birdsong made her
Shed a tear.
Why did her passing
Have to come so soon?
My heart became an empty space,
When shadows fell upon her face.
And angels took her
To her place of rest.
Her beauty shamed the fairest flower.
But death robbed her of all
Her power.
Creation lost the brightest
And the best.
Sad, but a beautiful tribute in memory ✌🏻
