A Rose

Your gentle beauty is so pure yet so powerful

you celebrate with us lifting our spirits,

promising love, bringing joy.

You’re there when we say goodbye to loved ones

easing the passage to a better place and showing them

how much they were loved by their family and friends.

In your beauty you show us that everything has it’s time

to be strong, when no one can crumble your petals

To a day when you need to lean on your friends, and they’re there to support

until it’s time and your petals fly away into the wind

and a new day begins.
