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
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.

This poem is so right for my, SAM, who passed away July 11, 2005. His favorite flower was the Red Rose.
I kept one outside, where he could see it, while bedfast. He told me of every bloom. One day he passed through the fence, to the other side. HE is the most perfect ROSE, now.

My mother was the most beautiful rose i’ve ever seen, I know she is even more beautiful on the other side. I miss her sooooooo much.

A note of life’s my life’s experiences in the last year
There are some things on this earth that are worse than death. I have experienced them. You have to excuse me for being so sensitive in my wanting to be in a stable environment. It is the most important thing in any persons life.
I am not sure what I have to do in order to achieve this, as I have put my life into this arrangement. I have lived up to my part as to paying my rent and also bought groceries. You told me it was not working out for me being here..all the time you knew I had no place on earth to go. I know my furbaby is part of the problem. But you also knew he was with me and you also knew how much I love him. He is the only thing on this earth that does actually love me. Without him the last year I would have been all alone in my horrid experiences I have had to tolerate. He was beside me through it all. No one else took the time out of their busy lives to give a damb.In the last year Me and my little dog have moved 7 times. One bad situation into another. At some point this has to STOP! I am not going to be pushed into the wind that knows not where I will land. That is exactly the way it has been. Nor will I be tormented by anyone using their knowledge of my misfortune against me to tear me down.
It is sheer evil that makes people take pleasure in putting others through pain of any kind.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS. FOR YOUR INSIGHT INTO THIS MATTER.
Have a great day!

Dear all alone. You sound so much like my sister who I lost eight years ago from unknown illness. I miss her so much. Please hang on! I am praying for you. You are doing the best you can and God said He would help those who try. Don’t give up like mt sister did. God Bless you and your little freind.

Just beautiful !!!!!!!

This is sooo BEAUTIFUL, it reminds me of my Daddy, & all of the other loved ones that have gone on before us to save a place for us! I have lost 3 babies to that better place beyond! Just day before yesterday we had 4 people we knew die, 2 were suicides! It makes one wonder why they were so very unhappy here???
Hang in there Mary, things are going to get much better for you! There are many people praying for your happiness! (SMILE through the tears! God loves you!)

Dear all alone: God only give us trials we can handle. Believe me I have had my share. You see I am ADHD and Bipolar. I tried to self-medicate with street drugs. I am now 55 yrs old and all of that is way behind me. My body is broken from all I did to it. But I love life and I will live every day that my Father in Heaven will let me.
God has a plan for you. Only he knows what it is. He will reveal all to you when the time is right. You are strong enough to handle all He has for you. God is with you every step of the way. When you cannot deal with it anymore God is there to carry you through life. Ask Him and He will tell you. Maybe not in words but God will show you.
Do not let the devil back into your life. It seems the people who use things against you are just part of the devils work. Do you have some other city or state you can go to? I had to move all the way from the west coast to Arkansas to be free of my old life. Even though I had been clean for 15 years when I moved. I still acted the same and hung with old friends.
I have 3 furbabies, dogs. If you think they could get along then come here and live. Please contact me. Cindy

This poem has been a favorite of mine since I lost my daughter 22 years ago. I lost my father two days ago. He was an avid rose grower and many people called him the “rose man”. He spent the last five years suffering from Parkison’s Disease and the last two bed-ridden and unable to work with his beloved roses. My heart is broken and I know that he is the rose on the other side of the wall and that he is finally pain free and is in folded in God’s loving arms.

Just want to thank the person wrote this poem. I lost my youngest sister Blossom just 2weeks ago on the 6th of June. Now we have used this poem in her memory and also to our eldest sister April who also passed in 1985. Both our eldest and youngest sister was taken from us at both 19 years of age. Just reading all comments above has made me understand the poem even more. Thanks. I believe that God is looking after both my sisters and he chose well too. These two were very special in our family as being eldest and youngest in the family. Although heartbreaking, but we must go on. I do hope that we will meet up again on the other side of the wall. My deepest sympathy to Janet and all those who lost a loved one. May God continue to protect you all and comfort you in your time of loss….God bless.

We just lost our son -31 yrs. old to suicide August 26/09. our hearts are sooo broken , it’s very difficult to go on without him .He has 3 young boys who need him so much .We don’t understand why we had to let him go so young ! This poem has opened up a new insight for me, & now I CAN ENVISION HIM AS A ROSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE , MORE HANDSOME THAN EVER . I NEEDED THAT .
Now to “all alone”- You are really not alone -GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU ! THE DEVIL WILL LIE TO YOU & TELL YOU NO-ONE CARES BUT THEY REALLY DO , they just don’t know how to help you . Ask GOD to help you & HE WILL !!!! GOD BLESS YOU !!!
