I Saw God, But Now What
I opened a large book- my rose to lay
aft lifted from his graveside to my breast.
Oh, yes- God stood beside me on that day
and led me to the place where it would rest.
One night I prayed to Him- please send a sign
my father was at peace in Heaven's light
with everlasting life and soul divine-
which I felt true- but longed to know was right.
Some days passed by and in the opened book
I read the words beneath the wilted rose.
Emotions flowed, and teardrops overtook-
as God, beside me, banished all my woes.
The rose lay on a poem named “The Grave.”
Its words by Robert Blair, bode life anew.
In God's eternal life, great hope it gave;
and so I knew this answer made it true.
This miracle now rules my soul and heart.
Oh, yes- God stood beside me on that day.
Now I believe that death is a new start-
as proved to me with words- where my rose lay.
