My darling rose – by James

by Recover the gift

My darling rose

I see you when I wake at night,

a fitful sadness despair through my plight.

I see you in the mirrors at home,

we always played there now you roam.

 

In my heart you always pure,

you’ll touch me always and help me endure.

A screaming pain that pulses through me,

Oh Lord please hold my child in gentle lee.

 

My ship is sailing a rudderless stave,

your smiling face with grace it gave,

my joy to have a little girl,

your memory always a welcome burl.

 

Isabella my sweet, my darling rose,

I want your spirit to always know.

That daddy will love you forever be,

until I see you with all your glee.
