My Golden Mary

My Golden Mary

Sad by the looks he gave her
Death was becoming nigh
For how long the rose til wilt
Be the thorn at side
Waiting to the end of time

As the lady crest felt
Fallen to knees by words
In memories that spoke silently
Sun shade darkens the days ahead
Of what will become the man, dead

And he had for her a marigold
Asked what it's for, he said
"The sun will shine strength
And despair will lead you astray
But water it with the tears of love
And love will shine, my gold, my Mary,
Each and every day"
