| 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 IT'S BRANCHES GREAT 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 BEYOND TO THE OTHER SIDE. NOW, YOU WHO DEEPLY FEEL IT'S LOSS, BE COMFORTED - THE ROSE BLOOMS THERE- IT'S BEAUTY EVEN GREATER NOW, NURTURED BY GOD'S OWN LOVING CARE. AUTHOR UNKOWN |
