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.
