The Rose [Eternally Here]

You loved me from the very first glance

For everyone who doubted, you took a stance

Never asking, just giving freely

Your love wrapped me, held me deeply

Life pulled hard, tried to push me down

But your strength lifted me from the ground

Through every shadow, each step we took

Your steady heart was my guidebook

I still see the photo I gave to you, bold and brave

In a fighter's pose true

A child's way to say, "This is me for you."

You taught me faith that never fades

Showed me love that always stays

In life's storms, you gave me trust

Family's more than just blood

You're the light that carried me here

God's love through you, shining clear

You taught me courage, how to be strong

Life's path is ours, and we all belong

True friends and family are kindness made

Not just blood, but bonds that won't fade

Grace and forgiveness, you showed me how

To rise above, live in truth here and now

Your strength and love will always be

The best of you alive in me

You taught me faith that never fades

Showed me love that always stays

In life's storms, you gave me trust

Family's more than just blood

You're the light that carried me here

God's love through you, shining clear

Even when dreams changed their place

God's call led you to this grace

A home you made with love so vast

His endless care through you would last

"If I give all but lack true love, it's in vain," the scriptures say

But love endures, it always believes, guiding us each day

Forever in my heart, your light will glow

Guiding my steps wherever I go

From the first kiss that you gave me

Until the last rose
