Mel Merrill Poet Rhyme

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
