DARLING Mary One year today A rose once grew for all to see, Sheltered by a garden wall.And as the time passed swiftly by, She spread her beauty straight and tall.One day a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide.My rose bent gently towards its light then passed beyond to the other side.Now me, I deeply feel her loss I'm comforted because my rose blooms there. Her beauty even greater now neutured by Gods loving care.Not one day will I forget you in my heart you are always near.I still love you so, I still miss you so, As it dawns another year.I know one day we will meet again, Where farewells are never spoken and promises we made in life can never again be broken. My love as always. God Bless Geoff x Published in paper 25/01/2008
