In a Garden
Lyrics & Music: Maureen S. O'Brien
Insp: Kathleen Klatte's JAG fanfic series, _A Walk in the Garden_.

I met you in a garden, where heroes go to stand
And be awarded medals for the honor of the land.
The bushes swung with roses and their scent hung in the air,
And something budded in us there.
  You asked me in a garden if you'd marry me, my friend,
  And I said yes, and so our love brought us to one quest's end.
  Then we stood in a garden, a brand new bride and groom,
  And in the garden, roses bloomed.

You left me in a garden where the heroes go to rest;
We buried you that day among the bravest and the best.
Another marker on the rolling hills of Arlington,
For petals fall when blooming's done.
  But I'll meet you in a garden where the roses never die,
  Where you have perfect vision and you don't need wings to fly.
  Oh, wait for me and watch for me, for soon I will be there --
  Buds on old branches, cold and bare.
