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 greater now,
nurtured
by God's own loving care.
