Rose Beyond the Wall

A rose once grew

where all could see,

sheltered beside

a garden wall,

And as the days passed

swiftly by,

it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light

shone through

a crevice that had

opened wide ~

The rose bent gently

toward its warmth

then passed beyond

to the other side

Now, you who deeply

feel its loss,

be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~

its beauty even greater now,

nurtured by

God's own loving care.
