Poem
I took a single long-stemmed rose to one I loved so dear. I laid it at the headstone and quietly shed a tear. A flood of memories filled my soul, the tears began to fall, Then through the gentle summer breeze I heard a familiar call. It sounded like a voice I hadn't heard in oh, so long. The voice of my dear Mother, sweeter than the angels' song. "My darling daughter, dry your eyes," she whispered in the wind. "Your pain is temporary. Someday we'll meet again. I'll be standing there with Jesus as you cross the great divide, And together we will wait for you and welcome you inside. We'll stroll down Heaven's golden streets, walking hand-in-hand, Just me and you and Jesus as we tour the Promised Land. You can't even imagine the beauty that awaits. I cannot wait to see the joy as it overcomes your face. I appreciate the rose you brought to symbolize your love. But I must leave it here below. We have plenty up above. So take it with you when you go, and remember what I've spoken. And try to smile when you think of me, don't let your heart be broken. Remember all the good times, and the times that are yet to be. You know I love you with all my heart, and I know that you love me." As quickly as it had begun, the wind faded away. Her voice was gone and so I turned to where the red rose lay. I blinked in total disbelief. I rubbed my tear-streaked eyes. There in the place of the single rose was an incredible surprise. A dozen long-stemmed roses were scattered in its place I gathered them up quickly, as a smile came to my face. I took a single long-stemmed rose, and she sent down eleven. I never will forget the day that roses came from Heaven.
