R.I.P. Rose

A hearty laugh,
Shared to all dear.
To everyone,
Both far and near.

A beautiful smile,
Spread across her face.
Which released,
Her laugh with grace.

A tender heart,
Filled with deep love.
Shining through,
The light from above.

A comforting hug,
For those in need.
Always there,
Coming with great speed.

A soft kiss,
Right on the cheek.
Showing you,
She was not weak.

A helping hand,
Making sure all is good.
Always hoping,
You know what you should.

A bold spirit,
Filled with a fire.
Over spilling,
With God's deep desire.

Even in a poem,
You could not capture,
The very being,
Which burned a rapture.

A poem written,
To say a good-bye.
We hope,
You tell Everyone we say Hi!
