I use to wish for fame and fortune…you know how that goes…
Until I met a man named Phil…who gave his wife a rose.
A single rose to signify the love…he had for his wife Lee,
And every year he’d add a rose…on their anniversary.
I saw those roses when I last saw Phil…he was sick…barely alive…
Holding Lee’s hand he smiled and said…”This year…it’s 65! “
Fame and fortune can be fleeting…and not all they’re cracked up to be…
So now I wish for a life filled with roses…and a love like Phil and Lee.
