about

Rose was a kind hearted lady that had short term memory problems. She lived off disability and often didn't understand that her advice came off as bossy. She would leave notes all over to help her remember what she needed to do, and also to tell me how to better do my job. She didn't have much to do so she walked around to the main street business owners and took their lunch orders to the nearby cafes.

lyrics

Rose-
Rose,
Give me some time?
Show me the way?
Show me the way to sweep
That’s better than mine?

I know you’re kind
but, rose it’s just sad.
The notes that you leave on the front porch
are just making me mad.

So much to see
and so much for you to do.
So, take your lunch orders
and be through

Rose,
I know you’re sad
but, no need to be rude
Roses they grow with water
but, people need food

So much to see
and so much for you to do.
So, take your lunch orders
and be through.
