Roses Will Bloom Again

After Paisly passed, we had many many people who brought flowers and cards and food and all kinds of things. Everything meant so much to us. Having the love and support of family and friends means everything in such a trying time. Some things that have really helped me are plants and flowers. We have peace lillies from my papaw, Andrew's pawpaw and Paisly's funerals, I combined Paisly's and Andrew's pawpaw's bc it means a lot to Andrew that his Pawpaw got to hold and play with our precious Paisly before we did. My grandma got me some flowers...I'm embarrased to say that I don't know what they are, and I can't find it on the internet...go figure...

May Aunt Debra and her family got me a Rose bush that I planted in front of Paisly's bedroom window. I grew up listening to southern gospel and one song that I heard...still hear very often is "Roses will Bloom Again" by Bill Gaither. My Aunt had this song in mind when she gave me the rose bush.


I planted a little rose bush,
I tended it with care,
It’s buds began to blossom
Their fragrance filled the air
But when winter came it withered,
The petals drooped and fell to the ground,
My heart sank as it faded,
But I’d forgotten who had made it.

Roses will bloom again,
Just wait and see
Don’t mourn what might have been
Only God knows how and when that
Roses will bloom again.

Rose was his only sweetheart,
A loving wife for forty years.
Cherished every day they had,
And held memories oh so dear
He never dreamed he’s bore love
And go to live alone,
But he lay his Rose to rest,
Looked up to heaven and tried his best
To believe that

Roses will bloom again,
Just wait and see
Don’t mourn what might have been
Only God knows how and when that
Roses will bloom again.

The precious Rose of Sharon,
Broken and bruised in cruel shame,
Stained on the cross of Calvary,
So that men might be saved,
Oh, Satan cheered as He died,
While Mary and the others cried,
Then God raised Him up from that sleep
And kept a promise only He could keep.

Roses will bloom again,
Just wait and see
Don’t mourn what might have been
Only God knows how and when that
Roses will bloom again.





I can't wait to see what my future Roses look like :)
