I once observed a wilted Rose <br /> Clipped before its time <br /> How sad it was to see <br /> It broke this heart of mine <br /> I thought of what might have been <br /> Bad this Rose been left to grow <br /> The beauty of a single flower <br /> For all the world to know <br /> But then again I thought <br /> There's more here to learn <br /> The thought of resurrected love <br /> Does make my heart to burn <br /> Herein lies the secrest of love and life <br /> For all of us to share <br /> Give thanks and praise to God <br /> For wilted Rose to bear <br /> This Rose I saw and understood <br /> That hang upon the tree <br /> He wilted, died and rose again <br /> Just for love of me.<br /><br />Dan J.
