A Simple Stem, a Tight Red Bud

Grandad

I could have bought you loads of flowers just to show how much I care
But you'd have only told me off for the amount that I'd put there
Instead I've chose a single rose as a token of my love
A simple stem, a tight red bud to send to you above
Yes this rose is sure to wilt and soon will fade away
But Grandad I can promise you my love is here to stay
