A flower has fallen, it stands strong no moreA soul has crossed over entering heavens door.The hand of our Savior reached down from above, caressing the flower that I dearly loved.Dear Jesus, I pray thee, let everyone know, this flower was special.. it was hard to let go. But by your grace extended, deep down in my heart sweet memories linger though we are apart. You bring comfort and peace and a smile to my face for my flowers now thriving in a much better place.
