The
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.

saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come, live with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you
Suffer and saw you fading away.
We loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Your hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
God will love you and keep you until
We meet someday.
May God grant you eternal peace and
May your tender love watch over us always. |

03-20-2008 When
I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared.
Miss me - but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's Plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know and bury
your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me - but let me go. |
