BUBBA WAS A ROSE

GOD PICKS THE PRETTIEST FLOWERS FIRST.
 THATS HOW THE CLICHE GOES.
   HE PICKED MY SON SIX YEARS AGO.
 AND BUBBA WAS A ROSE.
 
  A ROSE TO ME,I KNOW IT'S TRUE.
 WITH SANDY HAIR AND EYES OF BLUE.
   A ROSE THAT STOOD NOT THREE FEET TALL.
 A ROSE THAT ANSWERED,WHEN GOD CALLED.
 
  A ROSE TO BRIGHTEN UP GOD'S THRONE.
 A ROSE SOMEDAY,I'LL FOLLOW HOME.
   SO I'LL TRUST IN GOD TO END MY WOES.
 FOR IN GOD'S KINGDOM,GROWS A ROSE.
 
  A ROSE SOMEDAY,I KNOW I'LL SEE.
 WHEN GOD IN HEAVEN CALLS FOR ME.
   SO THATS THE WAY MY STORY GOES.
 FOR MY SON BUBBA ,WAS A ROSE.
