Once there was a man
this man love one way
He had a wife and a family
but that he love to much
This is the only way
He knew to show
Why he did it only he knows
But the man loved his wife
So oh very much
so much he made a rose garden
the rose were so red the
wife loved them
she loved them so much
One day the wife told the man
"Dearest I wish I where a rose that way I would be beautiful forever"
So the man told his wife
"you will always be a rose to me"
so later that night
after the wife feel asleep
the man walked in their room
later that night out in the garden
he lied her down to rest
The man was very happy for his wife
"there my love you will always be my flower."
the signs all read "MISSING" her picture was everywhere
there lovely children cried
"Where is Momma why would she leave us oh why?"
the man had seen the children love the mother
so that night he took them to her
cause he loved them too
"MISSING" it said this time three where up now
The wife
The girl
The boy
the mans mother-in-law came to see him
"I know you miss them badly, I miss them to."
the man told the mother-in-law that he didn't
"I see them every day"
the man could see his mother-in-law was not pleased
so that night he went to her home
"now you can be with them too."
this went on and on till the man had no family
and the roses in garden begin to bleed
the rose where so red by then
the color of blood
the man smile at his garden
he loved it so
"My family of roses"
the man is gone now but the roses are still there to this day
the mans family keep them alive
there blood is there water
Every year the roses get darker but not black
Deep dark red
The Blood Of The Rose

Well, I have to say, that first of all, the sentence structure was not well done, and the grammar was far from decent. This story did not really make any sense....why would he kill his whole family? It wasn't really very sensical. Please check your spelling, in the least.
