Today I woke up
to a cloudy and dark sky
I went to my garden
something was wrong
the beautiful flower's
petals were closed
her fragrance and color
also gone, my heart hurts.

She was love and light
to many now,
God has called her
to a higher mission in
Heaven to beautify
the gardens there.

I pulled the rose
from the ground
and put it in a resting place
her soul can now
fly to Heaven
and make God's garden as
beautiful and  lovely as
she made our garden here.....
