I Wonder If In Heaven

I wonder if in Heaven Will there will be a crimson rose? How grand the bloom would likely be If therein a flower grows. How I hope there is a garden, And perhaps an ocean too-- Then we could barefoot stroll the sand, With the rose I picked for you --Mel

Thank you Ana. I hope so too, I really do. Hey, what did the garden of Eden look like? So, I think it'll be nice. Thanks for the read, and Happy New Year!

:) We have no idea what glories await us, Mel. Let's hope by His grace we are there. Lovely, indeed. If you do pick the rose, it would never die.
