The Rose Beyond the Wall
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it's sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice's length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing it's fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive--
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain:
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

"In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill. You'll never be forgotten - we pledge to you today, a hallowed place within our hearts is where you'll always stay." from a newspaper clipping in memory of Clara Goodson Cooper

Her best friend in high school was Ida Reba Stokes Kelly. Their birthdays were just 3 days apart and my grandmother told me they had a combined birthday party once, I believe it was their 16th birthday. They continued their friendship and wrote letters back in forth into their seventies, and until they could no longer do so.

On a personal note, a very special thank you to Michael Dunne for sponsering her memorial.

I wonder if Annie Rose Broome Harris was named for her. Rose Simril Broome was married to Annie's uncle Jimmy and was living with Annie's grandmother in 1943 while Jimmy was in WWII. Rose and Jimmy lost their daughter to pneumonia in December 1943, just about 2 weeks before Annie Rose was born.
