_ _ _ _a walk with rose_ _ _ _©


Yesterday i made a new friend
when i was on my walk,
she was so full of life
and boy could she talk.
She said her name was Rose
and she was named after the flower,
we had such a great time that
i forgot about the hour.
I told her i must be getting home
for it was time to eat,
she said that she enjoyed our walk
and she just lived down the street.
We made plans for me to visit
when i got by this way again,
and i told her be my pleasure
but i'm not sure just when.
A week later i went to her house
and i knocked upon the door,
told her husband about our walk
and i wanted to talk to her more.
He looked at me
with tearful eyes,
and said i'm sorry
you caught me by surprise.
Rose died a year ago today
and i'm sure she'd be glad to hear from a friend,
she's buried in the cemetery
and he pointed up around the bend.
I couldn't believe what i heard
but went there anyway,
there just as plain as could be
a gravestone where the prettiest roses lay.
On the stone was carved so lovingly
here lies rose so dear,
for she's only sleeping you see
so no-one shed a tear.
It just goes to show
that angels walk among us on life's journey,
whenever we feel low
they come and lift us up so faithfully!
