In the Rose Garden
In the rose garden I will be
Here where I watch from afar
As he silently walks over
Here are roses no thug would mar
Their petals glisten and shimmer
Carefully watching me, us
He picked a rose, looking at me
He on bent-knee, I said yes Russ
Audience of roses sighed
The bright sun began to set
Exhaling breaths we all kept in
So glad that I lost my bet
