Oh Teresa, I've only just seen this thread. I'm so very sorry. What a sweet face Rose had....how lovable she looked...bless her.
She is at peace now and didn't die cold and alone in a strange garden. I hope the reports about the 'finder' being Rose's owner were mistaken...that would be too sad for words.
R.I.P. beautiful Rose. You are on a new journey now darling, and this one knows no pain or rejection....only love and peace.
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
toward 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.
Thinking of you Teresa.
(What a sad day this is turning out to be....I've just read about our dear little Gigi
)
Lots of love
Roz
