Remembering Charleigh Rose
                                        Loved and Cherished by Beth Jackson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can't know why the rose has so brief a time to bloom
in the warmth of sunlight's kiss upon its face.
Before it folds its fragrance in and bids the world good night
to rest its beauty in a gentler place...
But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost,
and no companion who has ever touched a heart
can really pass away, because some beauty lingers on
in each memory of which they've been a part.
