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 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 beyond 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 loving care
---
Rest in peace, dear Julie, in God's loving care.
