The Rose Still Grows Beyond The Wall
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light:
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice length,
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before.
And it lost itself in beauties new.
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive,
The rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore.
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

You folks are beautiful. Thank you.
This sad event has helped me reconnect with another friend today who's family loss is off the charts. Hopefully a drive across Mass together will cement closer communications with him. We certainly have enough hilaroius stories to recall to keep the conversation lively and fight the loss with laughter.
I have such an aversion to phones (actual voice communication oddly enough) that I just loose touch too easily. Must set a goal to overcome this... and
