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 own loving care.
Adaptation of a poem by A L Frank
Hopefully Mum has now found peace, love & care, like 'the rose on the other side of the wall'. xx

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room
I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
All, is well.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
