This is such a lovely poem, I thought I would share it with you. Even if, like me, you are not religious, there is comfort to be found in these words.
Rose Beyond the Wall
by A.L. Frink
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
Welcome
