This rose was a nasterpiece of creation, It's nagnificent fragrance wafted upon the air. It's radiance blended with God's other creation, Making it an added pl easure anywhere. In (iod' s garden now there' s a vacant spot, Auturm came the rose is gone. But the rraoory of it's spl endor and fragrance Will be remembered though days be long. A lovely consecrated Christian life Is like the radiant beautiful rose. The influence a continous fragrance How far outreaching only God knows. Man cannot rreasure influence and love. The boundaries are a mystery. The beauty and fragrance of a well-lived life Is never forgotten but rema.ins a treasured mem:::,ry.
