LEAH HILL
April 7,1974 - April 21,1992
A rose once grew where all could see.
Sheltered beside a garden wall.
And. as the days passed swiftly by.
It spread its branches, straight and tall
One day, a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide-
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side...
Now, we who deeply feel its loss.
Be comforted- the rose blooms there-
Its beauty eveti greater now.
Nurtured by God’s own loving care.
