Wiley's Song

Wiley’s Song
 
The red rose whispers of passion
And the white rose breathes of love
Oh, the red rose is a falcon
And the white rose is a dove
 
But I send you a cream white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips

 
Chorus:        Ahhh, ahh ahh ahh, ahhhhh, ahhh
                   Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhhhhh
                   Ahhhhhh
 
Two roses embracing each other
Souls dancing together above
In a box that she kept in her closet
were the words that he wrote of his love
 
 he wrote of a blossoming rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips
 his love was the purest and sweetest
With a kiss of desire on his lips
 
(chorus)

Wiley would grow up to serve honorably and bravely in several wars as an USMC Officer and Test Pilot. He flew choppers and supersonic jets. He pulled many a wounded warrior from the battlefield.
Picture
Maureen was one of Wiley's 5 daughters. She's pictured here perhaps about the time he was killed on a test mission.
Picture
My wife Maureen after she grew up and still showed a strong resemblance to Wiley.

Wiley and Dulcie. The words to this song were found in her closet after she passed.
