Like the Rose, It Withers, It Dies
 By:  Verne Garrison, Valley Park, Mo
         August 18, 2007
Banjo tuned Eb, played in Key of D
Well Dmy spirits broke
I aint no good Aany more
I am Dlooked on Gas a Djoke
My mind, my body Athey are at Dwar
Little Dthings become Gbig to Dme
A curt word, a woeful Aglance
Worse Dsometimes when Gnothings Dsaid
I wish no Amore for another Dchance
I have seen my Gbetter Ddays
I am well aware of Athat
But DI never figured Gthe haze
Or Dto be tossed Aaway like an old Dhat
My creed Gsays there is a place for Dme
And I have made amends with the One that Acounts
Best Dfor me with Gall this Duncertainty
To call on Him as the Apressure Dmounts
Yes, I have lost Gthe love of Dthee
I can see it in your Aeyes
My Dpartner since Gfifty Dthree
Love, like the rose it wAithers, it dDies
