May you feel the love of the Savior during this time. May he make your burdens light.\r\n\r\n\r\nNear shady wall a rose once grew,\r\n\tBudded and blossomed in God's free light,\r\n\tWatered and fed by the morning dew,\r\n\tShedding it's greatness day and night.\r\n\r\n\tAs it grew and blossomed strong and tall,\r\n\tSlowly rising to loftier height,\r\n\tIt came to a crevice in the wall\r\n\tThrough which there shone a beam of light.\r\n\r\n\tOnward it crept with added strengh\r\n\tWith never a thought of fear or pride,\r\n\tIt followed the light through the crevice's length\r\n\tAnd unfolded itself on the other side.\r\n\r\n\tThe light, the dew, the broadening view\r\n\tWere found the same as they were before,\r\n\tAnd it lost itself in beauties new,\r\n\tBreathing it's fragrance more and more.\r\n\r\n\tShall claim of death cause us to grieve\r\n\tAnd make our courage faint and fall?\r\n\tNay! Let us faith and hope receive--\r\n\tThe rose still grows beyond the wall,\r\n\r\nYours in the in the gosple,\r\nGreg Funderburk
