ABSENCE

The last few weeks have been quite difficult. Family, friends & personal health issues which are ongoing.  Last night my mother in law of 41 years passed away peacefully in her sleep.  x God Bless x
Rachel has kindly sent me this poem, so very beautiful, I want to share it with you

The rose beyond the wall

 A rose once grew where all could see,

shelterd 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 towards its warmth

then passed beyoud 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
