Remeber the Rose

The years have passed, to a day I return,

So young was I, unable to conceive a thought, that is now a concern,

Older now I have become, with the eagerness to ask,

To know her last thoughts and wishes, those answers I lack.



A void from within, a hunger, which will never subside,

Such feelings of loss for you, no more can I hide,

These tears I cry, for the love and memories, I tried to forget,

For the inability to accept, as your brother, I now truly regret.



To understand the reason, with no meaning behind,

The anger of not knowing, deep within my mind,

To find I cannot, no more shall I try,

The disbelief and conflict, I will now let lie.



As I close me eyes, I see a beautiful young girl, which whom I loved,

She appears to be so scared, yet knowing something from above,

Her suffering shall soon cease, with the intervention of the divine,

She speaks these words, as Mom and Dad, give their final goodbyes.



A song that was sung by a singer named "Bette Midler",

Gives a comfort to all loved ones, that with death, comes life ever after,

It is your love for me that will nourish the Seed,

As the warmth of the sun shines down, my petals will bloom, as long as you believe.



The truth lies within, to the need of wanting to know,

What lies beyond the dark, a warm heavenly light, as the sun melts the snow,

With the arrival of winter, life for the flower shall cease,

Though remember with Gods love, the seasons will change, and I shall be at piece.



I shall rise again from the earth, where I may lay,

I am the seed awaiting it's calling, to awaken another day,

I shall grow from the rivers, fed by your love and prayer,

I shall live again within your hearts, there is no reason to despair.


I want you to know, when the nights seem so long,

When you are thinking of me, that my very being is truly gone,

When you might begin to lose faith and there's not much more to life,

When all seems so distant and the truth is so far from sight.



Just listen to this song and remember me,

As I have become the rose so wild, beautiful, and free!
