Buckets Of Roses For Sale : Lyric Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

He stands at the station and he wishes you well

He's got buckets of roses to sell ,

 he looks at the faces of the crowd passing by

and he'd smile as he'd look in their eye

Each has a story to busy to tell

He's got buckets of roses to sell  .

 

 

Its not for the money and its not for the show

Its his life an everybody knows

 

He's got buckets of rises to sell

 

For the price of a bunch it could brighten you lunch

In a city that's stressed out as hell .

 

 

There were no roses when I buried my wife

We were only wed three years .

 

All that I have left now are memories of her

Washed in a sea of tears .

 

From dawn to dusk you can trust he'll be there

He's got buckets of roses to sell .

 

And when they're all gone ,the last train he'll be on

Until morning brings him back again  .

 

To the place that's his and will always be

He's got buckets of roses to sell  .
