IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Rose M. Parisi

February 19, 2011

HER JOURNEY
Don’t think of her as gone away,
her journey’s just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting,
from the sorrow and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living,
in the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
and Rose was loved so much.
