The Empurpled Rose
Between light and darkness we spend our human days blood, sweat and tears of centuries lying beneath our feet and gaze.
So much life, yet so much death a basic fact that if you live, you will die mothers will weep and babies will cry
The door will open when it may and open it surely will to places only dreamed of and only God can fill
God gives to some special ones the gift of the purple rose to see more clearly the future the spirit weary of its clothes
You take the rose in your hand and its thorn raises blood just as our life force slowly separates from the earth from whence it come
You start to see with a different eye and although daylight appears the same colors are often brighter wonderful and strange
God has wrapped his purple robe around your very soul and now prepares a place for you with some time before you go
Time to make important what’s truly in your heart embracing those that need you letting go others that do not
Close doors that should be shut and open new one that appear in finding that balance you will find there is less to fear
You cannot give back the rose it has now become a part of you and know your heart will bloom forever although your body here is through
But before you make that journey to the garden from whence you came there are rose buds yet yearning that gently call your name
A few of these tender buds will bloom as yet you linger bursting forth from your heart with no thorn to prick your finger
True love and understanding will issue from the blooms the gift of the purple rose is there for you to use
Reach out for the opportunities that lay within your grasp to really know your family as time moves on so fast
Lord knows the world will miss you with a void impossible to fill but great memories last forever and always help to heal
You know where you must go as you accept the rose into your heart we shall learn to accept life without you as your body and spirit part
yes…parting is sweet sorrow when you’re given the empurpled rose but the love we had, will last forever in our heart where it still grows.
