~THE
ROSE~
With its petals
glistening softly
Beside the
photo trimmed in gold
Tied with
a pastel ribbon
Laid a pure
white rose
Everyone that
passed it
Took time
to stop and see
A poem beside
her picture
Many bowed
and weeped
She knew that
she was dying
And her request
was a single rose
And a poem
for her life
As the story
unfolds......
She gave on
earth to others
What so many
never know
A love with
radiant beauty
And how she
loved the rose
She asked for
a blue ribbon
And said,
"Always think of me,
For I'll never
be far away
Once God calls
me into eternity."
I stood beside
the table
That held
the rose she loved so
And remembered
our life together
And how she
loved the rose
I bowed my
head in sorrow
With a very
heavy heart
We had so
much together
Why did one
of us have to part?
I touched the
rose with my finger
And ran my
finger down the frame
Remembering
the woman I loved
Who also shared
my name
She left behind
a father
Who grieves
for her each day
For the daughter
he loved so
Who now lies
in a grave
I see his tears
of sadness
I feel the
pain in his heart
Yet I know
death did not separate
The love that
began from the start
The rose now
sits in a vase
The ribbon
is still tied
I look at
it daily
It still makes
me cry
My best friend
is in heaven
Where God
took her to be
But I'll always
wish she'd had more time
To be on earth
with me.
I love you
Sharon Lyn Bryant
My sister-in-law
