In every life a little rain must fall
like tears of joy  how does one embrace
the tears of sorrow

The absence of so many who have gone on
year after year
another rose blooms
ushering in a fragrance
beauty
memory
of how precious life
and 
loss
can be
like us
roses bloom and then
wither away
leaving only the memories of
a love
to precious to forget
and the hopes of an
eternal life
to come
In memory of Johnny Murphy...
