October 14 1939 – October 6 2008
A 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 the warmth
Then passed to the other side…
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
Be comforted – the rose still blooms there –
Its beauty ever greater now,
Nurtured by God’s own loving care.
It has been 15 years since you left us so untimely.
Think of you daily.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Harry
